Beginning October 1st and ending October 31st, Marrowbone Public Library in Bethany will begin a “Library Crawl.” Pick up your passport and return it after visiting five or more participating libraries. Official ‘passports’ can be picked up at your home library. Travel around central and southern Illinois, visiting participating public libraries. Go to each library’s circulation desk to get your passport stamped. Visit five (5) or more libraries in October to complete the Library Crawl. Discover all the many library collections your library card gives you access to. Did you know you can check out items at other libraries and return them to your home library? The statewide courier service makes this possible. Return your stamped passport to your home library and share your adventures. For more information, call (217) 665-3014.
