Hunt for friendly bigfoots hidden throughout Bridges Library System libraries this summer!

Explore all 24 member libraries, find their library bigfoots, and collect footprints along the way.
Enter to win prizes at every library you visit—that’s up to 24 chances to win!
Join the fun June 1 – August 21, 2026.

How does it work?

Visitors are invited to explore all 24 member library locations to hunt for bigfoots. The hunt runs Monday, June 1 – Friday, August 21, 2026.

  1. Players pick up their Bigfoot map at the library of their choice to start the hunt. Everyone is welcome to have their own map, one per player. There is no age limit or requirement to participate.
  2. At each library, players will hunt for the library bigfoot!
  3. Once the bigfoot is located, players add footprint stamps and record the bigfoot’s name on their map.
  4. Then, players can enter to win prizes at each library they visit by filling out an entry form and submitting it in the box. Only one entry per player, per library location.
  5. The more libraries a player visits, the more chances there are to win! 
  6. Libraries can be visited in any order.
  7. Happy hunting!
