Win an iPod Touch!

Ever been on a high-tech treasure hunt?

Want to win an iPod touch?

Come to the Aram Public Library between March 7 and 19 to take part in a hands-on QR code hunt, where the grand prize winner will walk away with an iPod touch to keep.

QR codes – also known as quick response codes – are small barcodes that can be attached to books, fliers, or advertisements. When scanned by a smart phone or an iPod touch with a camera, these codes lead to videos or websites online. They’re a fun and easy way to take notes, remember the name of a book, or connect to more information without having to write anything down, and they’re showing up more and more every day.

Come into the library with your smart phone with a QR reader or borrow our iPod touch to try your hand at our treasure hunt. You’ll be led through a series of steps taking you from books on the shelf to videos made by authors and other teens. But in addition to simply scanning QR codes, you’ll work to complete word puzzles, discover helpful ways to find good books to read, and much, much more.

When you reach your last clue, you’ll be entered into our drawing to win an iPod touch for yourself.

No registration is necessary, and we will have one iPod touch available to check out. To borrow it, bring your library card OR your school ID. The rules are simple and will be explained in the first step of the treasure hunt. Hope to see you soon!

Open to grades 6-12 only.
