Traveling Mystery Room at Sawyer Free Library!

Traveling Mystery Room with Big Ryan
Saturday, December 27 | 1:00–2:30 PM
Children’s Program Room | Sawyer Free Library, 2 Dale Avenue, Gloucester

The Sawyer Free Library is calling all young detectives and adventure-seekers! Kids ages 7–16 are invited to join Big Ryan for an exciting Traveling Mystery Room experience — an interactive adventure filled with teamwork, creativity, and fast-paced problem-solving.

The challenge:
You’ve been abducted by aliens along with a group of your peers. Your only hope of escape is to work together, follow the clues, and complete each step needed to charge the escape pod. But act quickly — you have just one hour before the aliens discover you’ve broken free!

Important details:

  • Registration is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org, and space is limited — please register each child individually.
  • Designed for kids ages 7–16.
  • Parents of children ages 7–9 are strongly encouraged to stay and lend a hand with the mystery.

Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure!

Kestrel Adult Adventures:Survival of the……..Prepared!

Imagine yourself crouched over a small bundle of dried plant fluff that you collected, striking your fire steel until a spark ignites. The fluff catches, and before you know it, you have made a warm fire! Trusting in ourselves to survive in the outdoors can be fun and a wonderful confidence booster. This 2 hour workshop will cover some basic important wilderness survival skills. Our class will prepare you for real life survival situations such as cold emergencies, hunger and dehydration, conflict avoidance techniques (think making friends, rather than enemies), and of course how to get rescued. We are also open to your input into the direction our class takes. Just email us your interests.

Overarching themes will be:

-Finding the ability to overcome our fears

– Temperature regulation using human-made and natural materials and fire

-Wild edibles

-Learn how we humans can still be dependent on the natural world for survival
