Nassau Library Tour 2023
A groovy summer of exploration awaits on the 2023 Nassau Library Tour! To get started, simply pick up a tour map at any participating library and road trip to as many of Nassau’s public libraries as you can from June 12 – August 12.
Each one is your gateway into a new community–visit the library, then explore the attractions, restaurants, and parks nearby. Take a self-guided tour as a family, a team of friends, or go solo. Plus, you’ll collect prizes and invaluable memories along the way. Make sure to visit one of the 6 Prize Center libraries (listed below) to receive your 30th and 50th visit prize. Visit all 58 libraries to be entered to win a grand prize raffle basket!
