The 2026 Illinois Heartland Library System Library Crawl (Oct. 1-31)

Hayner Library is happy to announce our participation in the Illinois Heartland Library System’s eighth annual Library Crawl. There are nearly 200 libraries in this year’s crawl! Participating in the Library Crawl is easy. Pick up an IHLS Library Crawl passport from any Hayner Library location, have your passport stamped by at least five participating libraries, then reurn your passport to any Hayner Library location for a chance to win our grand prize drawing. All participating patrons who visit a Hayner Library location will receive a small prize (while supplies last). To show off where you have traveled, use #IHLSLibraryCrawl2026 on social media! The IHLS Library Crawl is a fun way for patrons within the Heartland Library System to visit other libraries and experience the vast array of library programming, collections, and services available in our state. Please note: Hayner Library cardholders can pick up and drop off their passports at any Hayner Library location. All other IHLS member library cardholders should pick up and drop off their passports at their home libraries. Only Hayner Library patrons are eligible to enter our grand prize drawings.
