Fun Things to Do Here

Ideas to make the most of your visit to New Canaan Library

Shelf Scavenger Hunt

Find a book with a red cover, one about an animal, one about a place none of you has been, and one that looks older than grandma.

Pick One for Me

Each person chooses a book for someone else and reads the first page aloud. The chooser has to explain why it fits.

Cover Judge

Choose a book by its cover alone, guess the story, then read the opening page to see who was closest.

Two-Word Review

After the visit, each person describes the book they picked in exactly two words. Compare on the way out.
