We have partnered with Heartbreak Hill Running Company to offer guided routes kicking off and concluding at the Roxbury Branch Library.
Book it Around Boston will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024.

All participants will receive a Boston Public Library Passport: a booklet outlining routes to walk, run, or bike between each of the BPL’s 26 locations, encouraging residents to get out and explore the city.
For each branch participants visit, they will receive a branch stamp in their BPL Passport.
BPL Passport booklets will be handed out at this year’s Book it Around Boston start/finish location at the Roxbury Branch, but can also be used anytime.
Passports and additional swag will be available for patrons to pick up on a first-come-first-serve basis.
