Passport

Welcome to the BPL Passport!

Your library card is your passport to technology, literacy, fluency, community, and so much more.

To celebrate all of our locations and their unique personalities, and to bring more people into more neighborhoods, we launched the BPL Passport!

Grab your Passport at a BPL location today, and start to experience Boston’s neighborhoods through the lens of their treasured local libraries.

What is the BPL Passport?

The BPL Passport is a booklet outlining routes to walk, run, or bike between each of the BPL’s 26 locations. For each location you visit, you’ll receive a unique stamp in your Passport.

Collect 10 stamps: Receive a Passport magnet.

Collect 26 stamps: Receive a deck of Passport playing cards.

When you’ve collected all 26 stamps, you’ll have successfully traveled nearly 40 miles, visited every neighborhood, and hopefully learned more about our amazing city.

Please note:

• The Fields Corner Branch and South End Branch are temporarily closed.
• The Adams Street Branch has a stamp for the Fields Corner Branch.
• The Shaw-Roxbury Branch has a stamp for the South End Branch.
• The South Boston Branch has a stamp for the South End Branch, too.

Want to listen to some music on the go? Here's a family friendly playlist created by our staff.

The Passport has no ending date at this point; we do encourage you to finish the route within one year!

See you on the road!
