Book It Around Boston is back! For the second year, Heartbreak is teaming up with the Boston Public Library to celebrate the BPL Passports.
On Saturday, October 3rd, starting at 10 a.m rain or shine, we’ll run or walk our way around Boston, visiting a handful of BPL branches along the way.
The BPL created a passport map to encourage movement and exploration across the city’s neighborhoods. At each participating location, you’ll get a stamp specific to that branch.
We won’t hit every BPL location on our route, but the passport doesn’t end with us. You’re encouraged to keep exploring, visiting branches, and collecting stamps until you’ve completed your passport.
Come run, walk, explore a little, and get to know your city along the way.
