Locked Library: Island Escape

Central Library | November 21 | 7:30 pm 

There are worse things in the world than getting stranded on a deserted island, but at least you’re not without some way to escape—that is, if you and your fellow beachcombers can solve the puzzles and find the treasure!

On Friday, November 21, cast away all doubts and channel your inner Robinson Crusoe to make your way out of Locked Library: Island Escape! All proceeds from this event support Calgary Public Library.
