From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
You’ve gotten trapped in the Wood County District Public Library’s Local History Archive: can you escape? Find out by taking part in “Trapped in WCDPL’s History: A Virtual Genealogy Escape Room” on Monday, May 10 through Monday, May 17 on WCDPL’s social media pages.
To escape WCDPL’s archive, you’ll have to solve a series of genealogy puzzles. This event takes the popular escape room concept and adapts it to a virtual format through Google Forms and the library’s online genealogy resources.
“Escape rooms and genealogy research are both all about figuring out puzzles, so they seem a natural fit to combine,” said Marine Pratt, Local History Librarian. “I also think the escape room format provides a fun way to learn about all the online digital resources we have for doing genealogy research.”
To participate, visit our social media pages at 5 p.m. on Monday, May 10 when the Google Form will go live. Participants will have until the following Monday, May 17 at 9 a.m. to find all the answers and escape our Local History Archives.
