CCLS Road Trip

Take the CCLS Road Trip and check out our Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties libraries. Explore, have fun, learn, and earn some prizes!

Your CCLS Road Trip begins any time from

June 1st through August 31st, 2023

   

 

 Summer is the perfect time to become an explorer in your own backyard, and what better place to explore than libraries? Our 38 libraries have so much to offer, from local collections to knowledge of their communities, programs for kids and adults, summer reading programs, books, movies, and WIFI.

Did you know Alexander Findley Community Library has a boat displayed in the children’s section?

How about that the Allegany Public Library is in an old bank?

What about the three libraries that have library cats?

To start your Road Trip…

Pick up your free official Road Trip Map at your local library or any CCLS library anytime after June 1. Get your 1st  library stamp for your map, and plan which library you want to visit next!

Remember to get your stamp at each library you visit, and you’ll be on your way to earning prizes.  When you reach a prize level stop, let the library staff know!
