Information about the Youth Services Break In Bags and what they are and how to get them and when.
 

Don’t get bored this summer! Solve math mysteries and win fun prizes!

Break-In Bags are locked canvas pouches stuffed with prizes. In order to “break in,” kids, teens, and their families must solve a series of math and logic puzzles. Each puzzle has a numerical answer. Enter the numbers into the combination lock to “break in” and get your prizes. Keep the prizes. Return the bag, puzzle cards, lock, and key ring to the Kids’ Place desk.

 

Visit the Kids’ Place desk to borrow a Break-In Bag. Choose from a variety of beginner, medium, and hard Break-In Bags to challenge kids and teens of all grade levels. Try them all this summer! Break-In Bags work best for small groups of 1-3 people. Children under 8 need to be supervised by a responsible person over 12 when using the Library.

Break-In Bags are available each day on a first-come, first-served basis and must be returned to the Kids’ Place desk 30 minutes prior to close.

 

They cannot be checked out and must stay inside the building. Don’t worry-If you get stumped, you can try again on your next visit!
