Make time this spring for a Library Road Trip!
Plan a visit to our neighboring libraries to see the sights and explore their unique offerings.
Pick up a library passport at any participating library.
Visit each library to collect a souvenir for visiting (while supplies last) and a stamp on your passport.
Collect as many stamps as you can, then turn your passport in at your home library for entry into a drawing for an awesome prize basket offered by your home library!
The adventure begins March 23.
GET STARTED!
- Visit any participating library to pick up your official Library Road Trip Passport, starting March 23

COLLECT STAMPS!
Visit as many libraries as you’d like. When you have the last stamp you would like to collect:
-
- Fill out your passport with your full name, phone number, and home library.
- Turn your passport in at your home library. Your home library is where you received your library card.
DO I NEED TO VISIT ALL THE LIBRARIES?
Visit as many libraries as you want! Of course we would love for you to visit all the libraries, but we know that doesn’t work for everyone. Each library you visit will give you a stamp on your passport. Collecting stamps earns tickets to your home library’s Library Road Trip gift basket.
-
- 1-5 stamps collected = 1 ticket
- 6-10 stamps collected = 2 tickets
- 11-15 stamps collected = 3 tickets
- 16-17 stamps collected = 4 tickets
I'VE COLLECTED ALL THE STAMPS I WANT. NOW WHAT?
Visit your home library (where you received your library card) to turn in your passport. Based on the amount of stamps you’ve collected, you’ll receive raffle tickets for the Library Road Trip drawing for the awesome basket curated by your home library!
