Maryland LBPD
<http://lbpd.maryland.gov/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery> invites 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 in a callback to the classic Carmen Sandiego game style, 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

Celebrate Maryland’s Role in American History
From June 15, 2026, through July 17, 2026, LBPD patrons are invited to explore key moments in Maryland history that shaped the story of the United States.
Through a series of interactive adventures, participants will travel across time to restore pivotal moments that helped define the nation. Each mission is presented through a self-guided, text-based game hosted in Google Forms, where players follow clues, answer historical questions, and work to repair the timeline.
Along the way, you’ll discover new books, podcasts, videos, and programs that bring these moments in history to life.
Participants are encouraged to explore all of the activities offered throughout the program.
Patrons who complete all three missions and track their reading, listening, watching, and other library activities will be eligible for a completion prize. To complete the program, you must log at least 5 books, 2 podcasts, and 2 videos, attend or complete 1 library activity, and complete all three text-based games.
The library will be using Beanstack to log and track all activities. All games and interactivities are listed at this link.
