2025 Summer Library Crawl

What's 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. The Challenge: At each library, snap a selfie with a designated item - it's like a 21st-century scavenger hunt! Then, post your pics and tag the libraries using #mlncrawl2025 to show off your journey.
