The quest

Harvey Smith Library (on Sargent Avenue, north-west of centre, Winnipeg) is a free indoor room. Pick one shelf you have never stood in front of. Leave with one sentence from a book you will not buy.

Steps

  1. Enter Harvey Smith Library. Confirm it is open. If it is not, the quest is over.
  2. Stand in one aisle you do not usually use. Copy one sentence (a phone note is fine).
  3. Return the book. Do not make this a coffee outing.

Why this is on the board

Public libraries are how Winnipeg stays open when the weather does not. Harvey Smith Library (on Sargent Avenue, north-west of centre, Winnipeg) gives you a free indoor room and one sentence you did not have when you walked in.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
