How It Works
Collect 15 stamps to complete your passport.

1 activity completed = 1 stamp earned
Every activity you complete earns you 1 stamp that you collect at a Columbus Metropolitan Library location. When you complete an activity in a library location, take your passport to the Customer Service desk to have the activity stamped. For activities completed outside of the library, snap a photo and show it to a staff member at any library location to get your passport stamped.
