Explorers, travelers and trailblazers: this September, your adventure begins at your local library! Library cardholders in the Morris Automated Information Network are invited to play Passport to Imagination: Around M.A.I.N. in 30 Days. Three winners, who complete a series of library visits, will be eligible for a Grand Prize Drawing. If you live in Rockaway Township, possess a library card in good standing, and have a passion for exploration and knowledge, you could win an Apple iPad, a Nexus 7, or a Barnes and Noble Nook. Here's how to play:

• Visit your local library in person and present a library card in good standing (or, sign up for a new library card) to receive a stamped Passport.
• Bring your library card AND passport to five more participating M.A.I.N. libraries or branches. Each library will add a stamp to your Passport.
• Once you've received six stamps, leave your Passport at any participating M.A.I.N. library or branch. 

Rockaway Township residents can pick up their passports when we reopen after Labor Day, on September 4. Passports will be distributed, stamped and collected until September 30, 2012. More information, including rules, regulations and eligibility requirements, are available at www.mainlib.org/passport.

Rockaway Township Free Public Library Director Michele Reutty, a member of the NJ Spokes-Women Motorcycle Club, planted the seed for this game after hearing about New Jersey Smart Riders' RIDE2WIN program.

Through books, innovative programs, digital media, film, music, storytelling and classes, your library works to bring knowledge and culture to your fingertips. Here's your chance to see how libraries in your surrounding communities work towards a single goal: to send your imagination on a trip around the world.
