There’s a Magikarp hidden at every ORLS branch…

And yes… we’re daring you to try to take him.

Here’s how it works:
🐟 Visit your branch
🐟 Find the hidden Magikarp
🐟 Sneak him out without staff noticing
🐟 Get caught? Return him and try again another day
🐟 Escape successfully? You win and get to keep him!

No clues.
No hints.
Just stealth.

Which branch will crown its first Sneak Champion?

Get ready for a wild adventure across ORLS!

Georgia Untamed Zoo is visiting our libraries with an exciting live animal program featuring animal ambassadors, fun facts, and opportunities to learn more about wildlife, habitats, and conservation.
