SUMMARY:Crack the Code: Design Your Own Break-In Kit
DESCRIPTION:Want to create a break-in kit but aren’t sure where to start? This hands-on workshop will take the mystery out of puzzle design.

This workshop’s break-in kits are ideal for teen and adult audiences. \nPresented by Maura Flanagan with the Pauline Haass Public Library in Sussex.
