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
