Teen Digital Challenge! – Escape from Panem

Sadly, we can not welcome you back in person just yet, but Ms. Becky and Ms. Christina remain busy coming up with fun stuff for you to do. This week, it’s your turn to “Escape from Panem!“
Following a global disaster, the nation of Panem was formed. Divided into thirteen districts, each with it’s own specialty, Panem held a dark annual tradition which forced its citizens to pay the highest costs imaginable.
The need for skilled workers has caused the districts to choose their tributes carefully, they cannot afford to lose children who have the potential to contribute positively to society. With this thought in mind, a series of tests has been devised, one for each district.
Complete the tests correctly and you will be deemed essential for society. Fail and risk The Hunger Games.
This virtual escape room was created by This experience was created by staff at St Albans library, St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK
Many thanks for their willingness to share 🙂
Teen Summer Challenge is Here!
Beginning today, you can sign up for our on-line summer reading challenge!

You have summer reading assignments for school. Why not have fun doing them?
Or maybe you just want to avoid summer slide; you know that part where you lose up to 1 month of learning from last year. Do you really want to spend time relearning stuff you already learned once? Reading engages your brain so all that stuff you worked hard to learn doesn’t slide out.
We’ve made reading fun!
