What is Read, Eat, Play Library Road Trip?
Welcome to the 3rd Annual Read, Eat, Play Library Road Trip! We are excited for you to start your journey. We know you will have a great time exploring all the wonderful libraries, eateries, shops and parks!
To complete your Road Trip and be entered into a grand prize drawing, you must collect stickers or stamps from your home library (library card provider) and at least 9 others. When visiting a library please be sure to take your Passport to the main circulation desk to receive your sticker or stamp. If the library you visit doesn't have a page in this Passport, no worries. Just have them stamp the "Bonus Stamps!" area inside the back cover for you. Then be sure to return to your home library and drop off your Passport to get entered into their prize drawing!
Remember, you can use your library card to check out items from any of the libraries you visit. When you are done with the items you've checked out, you can return them to any library in your passport and our courier service will deliver them to the appropriate library for you. This fantastic service also lets you request a book from any library and have it sent to your home library for pick up! Just ask at any library's circulation desk for details.
Each participating Library has a page in the passport with its address, operating hours, and information about local eateries, parks and attractions. Please be sure to double-check business websites and social media for more information and verify a location's hours when planning your trip.
Don't forget to pack your library card, and Safe Travels!
