Summer Library Crawl

Looking for a fun way to explore your local libraries this summer? Join the Summer Library Crawl, a self-guided tour that turns visiting libraries into an adventure!

 

What is a library crawl? Think of it as a literary road trip! Travel from library to library, meet the friendly staff, and discover all the awesome things each one has to offer. At each library, snap a selfie with a designated item - it’s like a 21st-century scavenger hunt! You can post your pics and tag the libraries using #mlncrawl2025 to show off your journey. Show the picture you take at each library to a librarian there to win a prize!

 

How it works: Start at whichever participating library you want, visit as many different libraries as you want/can, and end whenever you're ready. The Summer Library Crawl is totally self-guided, and all ages are welcome - kids, families, adults, everyone!

 

You can pick up a copy of the Summer Library Crawl passport at each participating library, or see the digital version here. When you visit the Newton Free Library, stop by the main circulation desk to get a passport and claim your prize.
