The hunt is on

Think you know library services?!  

Test your knowledge with our Library Icons Scavenger Hunt! Use the clues below and explore key service points to find one of 6 hidden library icons.

We’ve also hidden 4 owl icons across our brand‑new website to help you get familiar with what’s new.

Scroll down for full details on how both hunts work.

The prize?  

Finding a library icon wins you a €10 Londis voucher, and finding an owl icon on the website enters you into a draw to win a €10 Londis voucher.

But perhaps, the real prize is the library wisdom you pick up along the way…
