This year's escape room theme is The Secret Library...
Once upon a time, there was a library unlike any other. The bookshelves lined with ancient novels, journals, and art books. The true magic, however, lay hidden within the library's oldest section—a secret room that had long been forgotten by most, save for a few local artists and historians.
This forgotten room, once the creative sanctuary of a mysterious, long-lost artist named Paige Reed, was said to be a place where art came to life. However, one day, she disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only cryptic sketches, unfinished canvases, and a peculiar collection of tools.
The library, over the years, became a hub for teens to explore their own creativity. They would often come together, sketching in the corners, reading graphic novels, and experimenting with different media. But despite their love for art, no one could seem to decipher the enigma of Paige's room—until now.
Decipher the puzzles and be reward with a treat from the Ghost of Paige Reed. Will you be the one to crack the code? Or will you, like so many before, get lost in the art?

Considered to be one of the finest Carnegie Libraries in the West, this 8,900 square foot library has two levels. Since its opening in 1918, it has been an important part of city services to Westside residents. The Chapman Branch was completely renovated, including an updated HVAC, following the collapse of the roof during 1993. A major remodel of the basement level meeting space in 2002 resulted in a much improved children's area and expanded service and collection space for adults on the ground level. A small meeting room is available for public use, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library. Street parking is available to the south of the building, and an external book drop is located on the east side of the building for returning library materials after hours.
