Montco Passport to Adventure

Jun 252024
 

Try the Montgomery County Libraries PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE challenge this summer! Find out what other Montgomery County libraries offer. Norristown Public Library is participating.

Visit our circulation desk to sign up and pick up your “passport”.

Visit libraries around the county that are on the passport and get stamped. Visitors to our library will get a honeycomb logo sticker and may do a quick scavenger hunt to engage with the library. The scavenger hunt starts at our reference desk on the first floor. Visiting kids can hunt for bees upstairs in our children’s department to earn a bookmark.

After you have visited 12 or more libraries, return your “passport” of stamps and stickers to your starting library and be entered to win a $20 gift card.  Questions about this program at the Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library can be answered at the circulation or reference desks.

Challenge ends August 30, 2024. Winner will be notified in the following week.
