Looking for a fun way to explore your local libraries this summer? Join the Minuteman Library Crawl, a self-guided tour that turns visiting libraries into an adventure! You have 6 days to explore participating libraries during Library Crawl Week, August 3-8. Each library has a unique clue to find and a stamp to collect. The Minuteman Library Crawl is self-guided, and all ages are welcome - kids, families, adults, everyone! How many libraries can you explore?

 

How It Works

  • Pick up your passport at a participating library.
  • Visit participating libraries during their Featured Crawl Days
  • Find the scavenger hunt clue and take a photo.
  • Show the photo to library staff and receive a stamp in your passport!
  • Collect every stamp to qualify for the Grand Prize Drawing!

 

Please Note: stamps and prizes are only available during a library's assigned Crawl Day(s). The Newton Free Library's Featured Crawl Days are Wednesday, August 5 and Thursday, August 6. Those are the only days that Newton librarians will be stamping passports and giving out prizes.

 

We encourage you to visit other libraries on their featured days during the rest of the week. Check out this Strategic Guide, which lists the featured libraries by day, to help you plan your Library Crawl week.

 

You can get a Library Crawl passport at any participating library, and you can read a text-only version of the passport information here.
