On top of the scavenger hunt, we’ll have library tours, videos, and 30 fully stocked middle school backpacks from United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County‘s School Supply Drive! Prizes will be awarded to the winning scavenger hunt team. If you cannot make this event yet are interested in learning more about how to access donated school supplies, call 2-1-1 or 252-HELP.
