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!

Most excellent! Can't wait to get started; this is one of the best parts about moving back to Ann Arbor!

Thank you for the best Summer Games program, I can't wait to see what badges you have come up with this year. I always learn new things by searching for answers to the clues. Fun, summer and learning in one game. You rock!

@freopt

Nope, it's still a thing! I had a typo in my code. Thanks for the heads up!

So excited we can start earning points while we wait for the badges to drop!

Ann Arbor summer fest is a blast and art fair is butt.

Thanks librarians for making the summer game each summer! Glad to be here!

If Friend Codes are back, mine is LIVE979.

Yay! We love the summer library game at our house. I found codes at Westgate and Pittsfield earlier today. Woot!

And just when I thought adulthood after college was going to be dull, this arrives!

Awesome! So excited. Are school asked us if we are going to read this summer. Ha! Am I going to read. Let's do this thing!

Any chance that list making will be a badge again? I love making and reading other people's book lists - the more esoteric the topic, the better.

Any please - new t-shirts! i love all my old ones. Wear them proudly all over (even to other libraries). And buttons. Moar buttons.

Nothing like being a grown up and feeling just as excited as a five year old running around shouting "its time, its time, its time!!!"

Okay, ready go!!!

Don't forget to create a friend code and post it in the comments so we can add you.

FALL649

Squee!

Yay!!

YAHOO

@echternk: "Nothing like being a grown up and feeling just as excited as a five year old running around shouting "its time, its time, its time!!!" Okay, ready go!!!"

LOL - this is TOTALLY how I've been feeling today!!! I've worked here even before the current version of the Summer Game began back in 2011 and I still am super excited for it to start every year! :) :) I LOVE playing. :)

My friend code: STEP967
My Mom's Code: DREAM734 (I'm trying to help her get points thru friend codes since she doesn't get a chance to play much!)

I never would've thought I'd have this much fun participating in a summer reading program! :D Thank you, AADL!!

Back for the summer, college is a pain. But I'm back for the 6th annual...this.
I still have 310000+ points in my bank, So I'm hoping for some good stuff here.

Meanwhile, perhaps some can add me, if we're still doing that.

We love the summer game! Thanks aadl for all you do! Keeps the family looking out for badges!

Loving it so far. I hope they do another series of badges based on podcasts. That was my favorite from last year.

Thank you AADL! The summer game is a big part of our summer plans. My whole family looks forward to it.

I've been anticipating the new game since the weather turned nice. Really looking forward to the park and other outdoor badges!

Yeah!

This is my first time playing the summer game, hope my girls enjoy themselves and learn a bit too!

I'm LEAN633 and glad to be back!
New players, please do share your friend code.
You get points when you add other's codes... and when we both friend each other everyone gets points!

Ahhhh - My summer addiction - Ready, set, GO!! Thank you AADL (My housework and gardening, however, do NOT thank you as they receive minimal attention from mid-June through the end of August - lol).

Hi! My friend code is LINE393. Share your Friend Code and I'll Friend you back :-) More points, lots more points, WOO HOO!

Woohoo! I've been curious about this since I moved to Ann Arbor but barely missed the last summer game, so this is my first and I am pumped because all I do in my spare time is read!

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 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 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!

Woo hoo summer game! I only discovered the summer game this year, after having lived here for 7 years now. I love stretching my sleuthing muscles while watching mindless TV!

Just got our codes:

WRONG777

BRAIN666

COUCH444

Thanks!

Here it is August 24 and it feels like we just started this wonderful summer games. Thank you library staff for all your wonderful work.

Yay!
