See all the participating libraries on this map.\nWhen you arrive at a new library\, be sure to go to their main circulation desk to ask for a stamp in your passport.\nVisit five or more libraries between October 1-31 to complete the Library Crawl.\nBring your passport back to the library and receive a raffle ticket (for a gift card to local business)\, coupon for free book from sale shelf or book sale\, and a freebie!\n\nEach library has a page in the online 2024 Library Crawl Guidebook.
