2024 OCTOBER Library Crawl
Public libraries around the North Country are uniting behind an event focused on highlighting the diverse and unique characteristics, collections and offerings of each library in the region.
The North Country Library Crawl aims to get people out and about to visit not just their local library but surrounding locations throughout the region. The October event was primarily organized by Allison Mandeville, who serves as the director of the Champlain Memorial Library.
The Library Crawl originally ran the first weekend in June 2023. While it was considered a success, many participants, or crawlers, asked for more time than just a couple of days to visit all of the stops throughout Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties.
Organizers listened. The event is slated to return for the entire month of October.
Crawlers will be able to pick up a library “passport” at the first location they visit. A librarian will place a stamp in the document at each different location they visit. Anyone who visits at least five separate libraries can drop off their passport at their final library stop of the month.
Visit one of the 45 participating libraries in Northern New York and Vermont and ask the librarian to stamp your passport. Anyone who visits 5 or more libraries during the crawl is eligible to enter a drawing for a prize.
