To honor his memory and outdoor adventures he loved, OFPL has created a Treasure Hunt! Watch for a poem to be posted on each of our social media platforms, @galluplibrary on Oct. 3. Follow the clues in the poem to find the treasure we have hidden somewhere in the Gallup area. Find our treasure, enjoy the contents, take a photo with it, and share it with the library.
