TEENS! Are you a lover of puzzles and code cracking? Solving mysteries? Stop by the John Steinbeck branch and try your hand at a break-in bag! 

What's a break-in bag? Think of it as a reverse escape room - Instead of locking you into a room you have to escape from, we locked candy and other small prizes into a bag you have to solve puzzles to get into. Figure out the answers to a few riddles, crack the code, and free the loot inside!

This is an in-person drop-in program. Just pick up your puzzles and bag from the reference desk. Once you finish, the loot inside is yours to keep but PLEASE RETURN THE BAG AND LOCK TO THE DESK so we can reuse them for the next person. While you're here, be sure to check out our new teen area!
