MiLIBRARY QUEST
JUNE 16 - JULY 31, 2025, AGES 12-18
Paintings have been stolen from museums across Michigan! The subjects of the paintings have come to life to leave you some clues to where they’ve been taken and who might have done it. Can you catch the thief?
HERE'S YOUR CLUE: Painting 2: Hint 1 (Statement 1) Since Jane Seymour wants to visit Kalamazoo, that means she does NOT want to visit any other city, so mark an x (or no) for all the other cities in her row. Because she is visiting Kalamazoo, no one else will, so mark and x (or no) for all the other wives in the row for Kalamazoo.
To return to the Quest, use your "go back" option to go back to the previous page or tab. This clue is part of MiLibraryQuest: Summer 2025, a set of virtual puzzles for teens.
