CMPLD Epic Quest 2020
Buried within the walls of Cook Memorial Public Library are untold treasures, valuable tools and artifacts dating from ancient through modern times which have been collected by warriors, scholars and adventurers. Discovering  these hidden treasures will allow you to unlock the Wisdom of the Ages (and might also help you with homework.) The Guardians of this valuable stockpile have trained for years to help you navigate through it and unlock the secret codes used to organize it. These learned Guardians are called Librarians and they will help you navigate your expedition but YOU must find the answers for yourself. BE WARNED: An ancient curse will befall those who cheat in this task.

GRAND PRIZE: Upon completion of the Quest, several lucky Treasure Hunters in grades 7 - 12 will win a $50 gift certificate for Amazon.com. The winners will be selected randomly on Monday, October 19, 2020 from the names of all who have completed this form in its entirety.

1st: Official Treasure Hunter credentials: If you don’t already have a Cook library card, we highly recommend that you get your own before beginning this Epic Quest. You will also need it in your future adventures and for homework.

2nd:  Start with a clean slate: If you owe any overdue fines, fill out the form linked below to erase up to $10 of overdue fines. Fine forgiveness can only be applied to cards of students in grades 7-12. You do not need to participate in Epic Quest to receive this fine reduction.

Fine forgiveness form: https://forms.gle/Kq7FYKhoMzboKkme9

3rd: Go to www.cooklib.org to begin Epic Quest 2020!

Note to parents: In order to participate, your child should have his/her own library card. He/She will need your help with that task. Their first library card is free, but a replacement card costs $2.  A parent’s signature is needed  for those under age 14.  If you’re older than 14 and your parent isn’t with you, you will need to show something official (like a piece of mail) with your name and current address. You can start the process Online and get a temporary library card number in about 48 hours: https://www.cooklib.org/about/get-a-library-card/library-card-application/

After that step, this Epic Quest CAN and SHOULD be done without parental help. We want the Questers to ask the library staff their questions. We want them to discover the library on their own. The Quest will take about an hour to complete.

The Epic Quest can be completed at any time October 9th-18th.
