Find Cam the Lion!
Can you find all ten Cam the Lions placed around the Newport Branch?
Find the Cams to learn about the library’s collection, services and resources. Once you’ve located all of them, win a fidget toy!
Grab a sheet to get started and then make your way around the library. Each Cam hiding spot includes information about the section he’s in so families can get to know the library better.
