The 7th Annual Library Crawl will take place October 1–31, 2025, 

and we are participating for the first time! 

The Annual Library Crawl is a unique event organized by the public libraries of Illinois Heartland Library System as a fun way to introduce your public library's patrons to the other libraries of the IHLS service area. Patrons visit area libraries throughout the month of the crawl and get a passport stamp at each library they visit. Some patrons have tried to visit every library in the crawl. This year 197 libraries are participating! 

The main purpose, though, is to help participants discover the many, many great resources available to them with their library cards. 

Patrons of the West Sangamon Public library are invited to come pick up a passport and a goodie bag. After you visit at least 5 libraries, come back to the library and enter into a drawing for a Barnes & Noble gift card. Happy Crawling!
