Staff FAQs

Q: Who is providing the souvenirs?

A: FLLS is providing the souvenirs, as well as other necessary materials like maps.

Q: Can libraries receive additional materials?

A: Yes! Contact Heidi heckerson@flls.org  Please factor in delivery time.  

Q. What to do we do if our library runs out of maps?

A: First, call the next closest FLLS library and ask if they have any extra maps; then, direct the participant there. Next, contact Heidi to request more maps.

Q: What stats should libraries keep?

A: Please use the provided monthly stats sheets (or make your own) to keep track of daily road trippers.

Completed sheets should be returned to FLLS by September 6th, 2024.

Q: Where can I find graphics to share on social media, add to flyers, etc.?

Q: Do people need a library card to participate?

A: No; anyone can participate. This program is a great opportunity to invite folks to sign up for a library card if they live in the FLLS service area.

Q: If participants are working together as a team, does each member get a souvenir?

A: Yes! Every member of the team gets a souvenir.

Q: Is there a limit to the size of groups participating in the FLX Library Road Trip?

A: Nope. Just be sure to track the number of participants you see each day on your tally sheet.

Other Tips:

  • Have your library facts ready! Tell patrons what makes your library special.
  • When stamping the map, make sure to put it on the correct library location. The stamp may not fit perfectly. Be creative!
  • Participants may not ask about the FLX Library Road Trip by name. If someone enters the library and asks about stickers, souvenirs, etc., ask whether they are asking about the Road Trip or about your summer reading program. Use this as an opportunity to promote both!
  • Be flexible, and trust your judgment!  Customize the promotion to fit your library's capacity.
