May 25, 2011:  The Bronxville Historical Conservancy will once again sponsor its Memorial Day scavenger hunt for kids, kindergarten through fifth grade, and their parents and grandparents.

This year, More Cues & Clues invites kids to find the "hidden treasures," as the Conservancy calls them, hanging on the walls in the Bronxville Public Library.  Some of the paintings were painted by Bronxville artists and are of Bronxville scenes.

According to Conservancy Co-Chair Jayne Warman, an originator of the historical scavenger hunt concept, "we feel this is a fun way to expand the knowledge and understanding of Bronxville history for our young people and to draw their attention to the library's wonderful art collection."

Laura Eckley, library director, adds, "We are thrilled that the Bronxville Historical Conservancy has chosen the library as the site of this year's More Cues & Clues Scavenger Hunt.  This is a wonderful opportunity for the library to participate in the Village's Memorial Day festivities.  Also, it is an excellent way for our young people to gain a better understanding of the very real treasures within the library."

Here's how it works:

1. Pick up your More Cues & Clues booklets at the Bronxville Public Library between Monday, May 23, and Saturday, May 28.
2. Follow the simple clues and hunt for the "hidden treasures" throughout the Bronxville Public Library, filling in the blanks in your More Cues & Clues booklets.
3. Bring the completed booklets back to the library on Sunday, May 29 (between 2 and 4 pm), for prizes, refreshments, and more fun.

All K-5 children and their parents and grandparents are invited.  Good hunting!
