Step 2 – Get your clue about the postcard’s location from Facebook, the Avon Street door to the library, or in the Youth Room.

Step 3 – Solve the clue and visit the Wakefield business with the postcard.

Step 4 – Read the postcard and figure out what country Buzzy is visiting that week.

Step 5 – Come to the library and tell a Children’s Librarian what country Buzzy is visiting. You’ll earn a raffle ticket to enter into the Buzzy Raffle for a chance to win some unBEElievably great prizes!
