Libraries’ Passport to Adventure program starting
Did you know that Clark County has 10 libraries? The new Adventures Begin at Your Clark County Libraries passport program is the perfect way to learn all about them.
Perhaps you have traveled Clark County’s Bloomin’ Greenhouse Tour or Spring into the Arts Tour. Now is the time to journey to Clark County libraries.
Starting May 1 and running through Aug. 31, pick up a passport at any one of the 10 Clark County libraries. Visit them throughout the summer months and have your passport stamped and initialed by library staff. While visiting, note an interesting feature at each library.
Turn in your passport to any of the 10 Clark County libraries by Sept. 6 at 5 p.m. for a chance to win gift cards. For those visiting all 10 libraries, their passport will go into a grand prize drawing for one of three $75 gift cards to Clark County businesses of Marieke Gouda, Aroma Café, or Tender Shoots Gardens and Greenhouse.
Passports returned with at least five libraries visited will be put in a drawing at the library the passport was turned in. There will be three $10 gift cards awarded per library: Subway, Kwik Trip and Dollar General.
The drawing will be held Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. at the Granton Community Library. You do not have to be present to win. Check the Granton Community Library website for details to attend virtually.
The passport program encourages patrons to see the various programs and collections that different libraries offer. While all the Clark County libraries are members of the Wisconsin Valley Library System, each library is able to offer unique materials and experiences for patrons.
The 10 Clark County libraries are located in Abbotsford, Colby, Dorchester, Granton, Greenwood, Loyal, Owen, Neillsville, Thorp and Withee. There is a limit of one passport per family. Check library hours before traveling. Library cards are free and are valid at all 10 libraries. You do not have to be a resident of Clark County to participate. If you have questions, contact any Clark County library.
The Adventures Begin at Your Clark County Libraries passport program is sponsored by the Clark County Community Foundation Inc.
