Passive Program: Oz the Great and Powerful


Before I came to the library, the Library Assistant started a partnership with the local movie theater.  As part of the partnership, they give out 2-4 tickets to specific shows that are coming out.  The newest one they offered was tickets to Oz the Great and Powerful.  To give out the tickets, we devised a library scavenger hunt at two of our libraries.  We hid 10 paper hot air balloons with key phrases on them in the teen and children's areas.  Below is a picture of a hot air balloon I made for one of the branches (the LA at the other branch made those and are not pictured):

Kids were instructed to fill out entry forms with those key phrases as well as their names, ages and phone numbers and they would be put into a raffle to win a ticket.  The scavenger hunt ran for 2 weeks and we had nearly 200 applicants between the two branches.  Kids could enter more than once, but those are still great numbers, duplicates aside.  

My lovely display at branch #2:
Can you tell there's a tornado with a balloon, a horse and a cow in it?r
