Can you spot the chameleons in these photos?

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 147 'chameleons' in Kid's Crossing in August. We had so much fun finding them all and playing our own game of Meccha Chameleon in the library.

Credit to Leah our assistant head of patron services, and Meccha Chameleon for the idea!
