September 1 - November 21

Come along with us as we take a different route down a familiar road.  From September 1 – November 21, you’ll find us taking a virtual road trip along historic Route 66.  During this armchair adventure, we’ll motor west along “America’s Main Street” through eight states – fueling our virtual trip with the library’s resources.  We’ll explore place and time through books, videos and audiobooks set in the states traversed by Route 66.  Let’s travel the road in our imaginations – and see how far we can go!   

Download our Route 66 Map   or stop by the Juan Tabo Library and pick up a copy. The map will help you to plot your adventure, and provide markers to track your progress along the virtual roadway.                                                                                  Printed instructions
