For the second year in a row, Forbes Library Trustees sponsored a team in the Northampton Dollars for Scholars fundraiser. The organization, which aims to help graduating students from Northampton and Smith Vocational and Agricultural high schools with college costs, hosts the annual Local Lore & Legends Scavenger Hunt. Players rely on their knowledge of the city in order to find sites and answer questions. Fees from participating teams go to support the scholarship fund.
