Summer Game 2017 - Let's-a Go!
by andrewjmac
Okey-dokey, here we go! Time for SUMMER GAME 2017!!!
Time for codes and badges and points and reading and exploring and all around LIBRARYING EVERY WHICH WAY YOU CAN! This year's Summer Game is HOT-HOT-HOT with more things to do than ever! Wondering how you can get going? How about:
-Visit every AADL location and collect the copious codes! Westgate, Malletts Creek, Pittsfield, and Traverwood all have 10 codes hidden around the building, Downtown has 15 codes PLUS every building has a BIG code on the banner outside (all banners are going up as we speak)!
-Head to the AADL catalog and get tagging, rating, and reviewing everything you can think of!
-Leave a comment on any post on aadl.org (this one included)!
-Read books, watch movies, listen to music, anything at all! Remember, you get up to 1000 points a day for every minute/page you read, watch, or listen to! It all counts!
-Start getting started by starting with our GETTING STARTED series!

Ready to go? WAHOO!! If not--if you don't even have a clue what this Summer Game biz even Summer Game iz--don't worry! Head over to the Get Started page to learn how YOU can join in on the fun and start earning points to spend on AMAZING PRIZES in the Summer Game Shop opens in July!
Let's do this! Do your best to top the leaderboard! Number one! Hoho!
(By the way, this post has at least 8 quotes from a certain video game hero. If you're looking for another place to start your Summer Game, try searching the catalog for the solo outing he has coming out later this year!)
Thanks for playing! Way to GO!

My daughter and I went
My daughter and I went through the Pittsfield library looking for the signs. We only found 9. So I came to this site the check the library branch badge for clues to where the signs are. But there aren't any library badges for each of the branches! How are we supposed to get to the clues to where the signs are?
@jgerman79 I've done that
@jgerman79
I've done that before as well. I sent a "contact us" and typed the codes that I had, and the library staff sent me the code that I missed.
Hi there! To get your missing
Hi there! To get your missing code please do a 'contact us' but in future please ask the staff on site for help - they can give you clues and let you know which codes you are missing. The branches each have 10 game codes and the Downtown Library has 15. The badges for the branches will come out later this summer.
Thanks for playing!
