Building off a successful program from years’ past, the library in Cumberland is sponsoring a scavenger hunt for Pete the Cat, who is hiding in the windows of different downtown businesses each week this summer.  When kids find Pete, they let the library know where they found him, and then they are entered into a drawing for a special prize of the week.  This gets kids walking, families visiting the downtown, and plus, Pete the Cat and the library both get some well-deserved publicity.
