Operation: Recommendation focuses on building a system of book recommendations for children centered on interactivity, education, and community to build a positive library environment. To do this, we created a 'choose-your-own-adventure' scavenger hunt that incorporates key library features like help-desks and reading areas. This game would be integrated into library programs like story-time and other events. To pilot this idea, we tailored this concept to the Dublin Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library by visiting the branch, talking with librarians, and creating clues directly related to that library. This overarching concept could also be replicated into different libraries by incorporating their existing floor plans and key locations within the clues. This project was created in collaboration with Peter Maczuzak and Mark Celestina.
