Dragon Egg Quest

on July 18, 2025, 10:00am to 5:00pm

Event description

This summer, the dragon from our Summer Reading program has taken offโ€ฆ And left magical eggs hidden all over Pittsburg!

From July 7 to August 2, 2025, weโ€™ll hide a new dragon egg each week in a public spot around the city.

Can you find them all?

๐Ÿ“ Eggs might be hidden in parks, plazas, or even inside the Pittsburg Library!
๐Ÿฅš When you find one, snap a photo and bring the egg and the note inside to the library to claim your dragon.
โœจ Some eggs include special prizes to help you complete your Summer Reading Passport and level up even more!

This Weekโ€™s Dragon Clue Has Arrived! The Keeper of the Dragon has spokenโ€ฆ Two magical eggs have slipped away into the heart of Pittsburg, and we need two brave adventurers to help recover them. Are you ready?
