Library Lovers Expedition — February 1 - March 31

Join McHenry Public Library on an epic expedition!

McHenry is the Heart of the Fox River! Receive a Brag Tag when you check in at one of the 15 participating libraries.

View the 2025 LLE Facebook page.

How It Works

Stop in and register at any of the participating McHenry County libraries to receive your Expedition brochure, map, and your first Brag Tag.

Between February 1 and March 31, visit other participating libraries to "check in" and collect a new brag tag. Visit 12 of the 15 libraries to be entered into a drawing for a prize box of your choice (selected at registration). Visit all 15 libraries to be entered into the grand prize box drawing!

Most libraries have a fun activity or craft. Be sure to look around and explore everything each library offers! MPLD will be offering a "Joy Jar" and Waldo Search for adults, as well as an underwater obstacle course and axolotl craft for youth.
