The Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System Road Trip is back! This free program is open to every community member in both counties, regardless of library card or usage status, encouraging visits to as many libraries as possible this summer.

Libraries offer programming throughout the year, and summer is a great time to bring the family to the library. Each library has a unique feel and offerings, and we want the community to come in and enjoy.

Running through Aug. 31, all are encouraged to stop by your local (or any CCLS library) to pick up your free map of all the libraries. With your map in hand, make sure to get your first stamp at the library and start to plan to visit all 38 libraries.

There will be small prizes for reaching a certain number of stops. Check out www.cclsny.org/ccls-road-trip for more information. New this year is an extra challenge of the Road Trip Bingo. Complete 25 library activities to earn an entry into a gift card drawing and a final prize. On top of exploring and seeing firsthand our fantastic libraries, residents are encouraged to check out a Day Adventure Pass to explore partner organizations around the area. Summer in Western New York is a great time to become an explorer in your backyard, and libraries are here to help.

Make sure to visit the library’s website for the most up-to-date hours and upcoming programs as you plan your road trip. You never know what you’ll discover until you start your Road Trip!

CCLS is a system of 36 libraries in 38 locations around Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. Through this connected system, all the libraries work to better their community, provide materials, and offer programs.
