Chipper Scavenger Hunt Mission

Chipper our library chipmunk is hiding somewhere in the library. He doesn't like heights so we know that he is not on the roof.  Can you help find him?  If you do spot him in the library, quietly sneak away and come to the children's room reference desk.  It is okay to leave him where you saw him.  At the desk, you will fill out a raffle ticket with your name, phone number and where you saw Chipper.  Once filled out, you will place your ticket in our Nemo hat.  Weekly winners are drawn after we close on Saturday.  Every Monday, Chipper likes to hide in another place.  Can you find him each week?
