[Central-MD-Chapter] New Interactive Program from Maryland LBPD

[Ashley Biggs]

Celebrate America's 250 Years!
The Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled (LBPD) has
launched a new webpage to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. We invite library patrons to step into the
past with an interactive community game exploring the people, places, and
moments that shaped Maryland and the nation.

By exploring the library’s collection, interactive activities, historical
resources, and virtual experiences, participants will journey through
centuries of Maryland history, from the Revolutionary War to the
Underground Railroad and beyond. Designed to be engaging and interactive,
the program encourages learning, discovery, and community engagement.

The program runs from June 15, 2026, through July 17, 2026.

The program is set up like the classic Carmen Sandiego game, where
participants help restore objects pivotal to history to their appropriate
location. To complete the game, participants will read 2 books, listen to 2
podcasts, watch 2 videos, complete at least 1 library-sponsored activity,
and complete 3 Carmen Sandiego-style text-based adventures. Upon
completion, participants will receive a small prize. Library-sponsored
activities include digital scavenger hunts and webinars by community
partners.

Patrons will track their progress digitally via the Beanstack platform.

The program is recommended for library patrons aged 16 or older, and
registration is required. For more information about the program, please

Best,
