How a public library’s summer game took over a Michigan city
In Ann Arbor, summer isn’t just for sunshine—it’s for scavenger hunts, code cracking, and a plush flamingo with glasses. What began as a simple reading challenge has evolved into a wildly popular citywide game run by the local library, drawing in over 16,000 participants, many of them adults. By turning the library into a hub of exploration, learning, and community play, Ann Arbor is rewriting what public services can be: not just useful, but unforgettable. And the best part? Any library can join in. Neda Ulaby with NPR has the full story.
