What is the FLX Library Road Trip?

The 2024 FLX Library Road Trip is a promotional event that encourages people to visit FLLS libraries and learn about all the good you do! It is also a way to market your Summer Reading programs and what makes your library special. Participants can pick up a Road Trip map at any FLLS library and choose their own adventure. At each library, staff will stamp* the map so travelers can keep track of their adventures. Participants can collect souvenirs after visiting a certain number of libraries.

The FLX Library Road Trip starts Monday, July 1 and runs through Saturday, August 31, 2024.

*Please use your library’s book stamp or other unique stamp.

This fun, free, family-friendly event is open to everyone of all ages. There is no requirement to be an existing library patron - visitors to the area are welcome to participate. Library staff, volunteers, and trustees are also encouraged to participate!

The Patron LibGuide is available here. As of June 10, 2024 it is live and searchable. Feel free to add it to your websites and/or share on social media
