Minuteman Library Crawl 2022
Wednesday August 3, 2022
10am – 5pm (except where noted)

​

A “crawl,” or tour, is a fun way to visit multiple Libraries in your area. Travel from Library to Library; meet the friendly staff and learn more about what the libraries around have to offer! 

​

We have many different Libraries on the crawl. The challenge is to visit as many as you can and take a picture of yourself with a designated item in each library – it’s a 21st century scavenger hunt! Post your pics and tag the libraries #mlncrawl2022 – we love our social media :)

​

Each library will have handouts and giveaways – show your pictures to a librarian and receive a PRIZE, see how many you can collect. What a way to spend a lazy summer day! 

​

All are welcome to participate – children, families, adults, everyone!

Start where you want, end where you want – it’s a self-guided crawl.
