One Book One Putnam’s Selection for 2025 is The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.
A tale of murder, mayhem and the search for a priceless statue: The Maltese Falcon, aka the “Black Bird”. As part of this year’s activities you can play the role of a private investigator and locate the “Black Birds” in Putnam County.
Beginning on January 9, 2025 twenty photo images of the “Black Bird” will be placed in various locations throughout Putnam County. These images will be in both public and commercial locations, but will be easily visible, if you look.
To play you must take a “selfie” with the image in its posted location. Both you AND the Falcon, with the image number, must be visible in your picture.
DO NOT MOVE THE IMAGE
Save your photos in an album on your device.
Between February 15 and 26 email your entry album to: [email protected]
No entries will be considered before or after these dates. Your entry must include your name and a contact number. The winner will be the contestant who located the most Falcons.
Cash prizes of $100/$50/$25 will be awarded at the Maltese Falcon Finale event, Date TBD.
In the event of ties, winners will be selected by a drawing held at the finale event.
Location clues will be provided on the Putnam County Library website (https://youseemore.com/putnam/) , www.putnamreads.com (email: [email protected]), the Palatka Daily News, and our local radio stations on Tuesdays beginning January 14, 2025 and ending February 19, 2025.
