We invite you to spend a day visiting local libraries to find out what’s special about each and what they have to offer you and your family. This is an event for all ages – all you need is a love of libraries and a way to get from place to place. The challenge is to visit as many libraries 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 #mlncrawl2024. Each library will have handouts and giveaways – show your pictures to a librarian (or if you don’t have a camera, just tell a librarian you’re on the crawl — we’re pretty trusting) and receive a prize. Download your “passport” with all the relevant information.
See the Disney musical Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997, rated PG) starring Brandy, Whitney Houston and Bernadette Peters on Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 3:30 p.m. All ages; popcorn provided. No registration required.
