Every time you visit the library, look for the hidden musical instrument. When you find it, tell someone at the front desk and you will receive a raffle ticket to fill out. Every Monday is a new instrument in a new location and another chance for a raffle ticket. Each week, prize winners will be chosen at random from all entries received. The more you come to the library, the more chances you have to win!
