Every year Bound to Stay Bound helps Jacksonville School District 117 put on the Library Treasure Hunt. For three weeks each spring all the fourth graders in the District form teams and spend their library period tracking down various facts in their library.

This year's winning team was at Eisenhower Elementary School and picked the unlikely team name of the Proboscis Monkeys!
