Demo by Sierra Laddusaw on a Texas A&M University Libraries partnership with the Bryan/College Station Public Library System to create a Spotlight scavenger hunt for the 2020 Summer Reading Program. Five maps from the “Maps of Imaginary Places Collection,” held at Cushing Memorial Library & Archives, were chosen for the exhibit. Local community members were invited to visit the Spotlight Exhibit and participate in the scavenger hunt, submit their answers via email, and be entered in a prize drawing. One of the Librarians from the public library created sets of clues that encouraged participants to explore each map to find the answer. Sierra is an Assistant Professor at the Texas A&M University Libraries. She is the Curator of Digital Scholarship, Curator of Maps, and Co-curator of the Chapman Texas & Borderlands Collection at Cushing Memorial Library & Archives.
