Get ready for another InfoSoup #LibraryRoadTrip starting May 24th

5/13/2024

We had so much fun last year that we’re doing it again – join the fun starting Friday, May 24.

What is the InfoSoup Library Road Trip, you ask? It’s a fun and exciting initiative that invites you to visit 49 library locations spread across 10 counties in Northeast Wisconsin.

Here’s how it works:

Pick up a Stamp Booklet: Visit any participating library to pick up your Road Trip Stamp Booklet or download and print your own. This booklet is your passport to exploring the diverse offerings of our local libraries and communities.
Collect Stamps: As you visit each library, collect stamps in your booklet. Each stamp represents a unique library experience, from attending programs and events to discovering local attractions.
Enter to Win Prizes: For every ten stamps you collect, you’ll earn an entry form for a chance to win exciting prizes. The more stamps you collect, the more chances you have to win!

From Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, the InfoSoup Library Road Trip offers a fantastic opportunity to discover new communities, learn about local history and culture, and connect with fellow library enthusiasts.

So, dust off your map, fuel up the car, and get ready to hit the road with the InfoSoup Library Road Trip! Don’t forget to share your Road Trip adventures on social media using #LibraryRoadTrip. Happy travels!

For more information and a list of participating libraries, visit infosoup.info/roadtrip.

Let the adventure begin!
