In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
To take part in the scavenger hunt, individuals can obtain a BINGO-style sheet from the library’s reference desk. The task involves locating ten hidden pumpkins concealed throughout the library premises. Upon successfully finding all the pumpkins, participants will receive a prize and have their names added to a dedicated Pumpkin Hunting Wall of Fame, celebrating their autumnal achievement. The library encourages all community members to engage in this festive activity.
The scavenger hunt is available during the Thomas Balch Library’s regular operating hours. These hours are as follows: Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For those seeking additional information or clarification, inquiries can be directed to the library by phone at 703-737-7195 or via email at balchlib@leesburgva.gov.
