Toolkit: Explore MORE 2025 Passport Campaign

Passport Basics

The Explore MORE Passport Program runs from June 1 to August 31, 2025.

Set up your passport station

You’ll need:

• Passports
• Tally sheet (If you think you might use more than one, make a copy.)
  NOTE: please make up a phone code and write it on your sheet.
• Entry forms (Copy from the master included in the packet.)
• Library stickers
• Bonus stickers
• Instructions (pdf)

Email Reb (kilde@ifls.lib.wi.us) or submit a HelpDesk ticket if you need more passports or stickers. Keep in mind that courier is taking about a week right now.

Giving out library and bonus stickers

• When a person brings in their passport, make sure your library spot is blank, and then give them one of your library stickers.
• Library bonus stickers are the small irredescent stars or smiley faces. When a person brings in proof that they’ve visited a non-MORE library (like a selfie, a brochure, or a business card) they get a bonus sticker. Fill in the name of the library and location on page 10 of the passport, and give them a sticker or add the sticker yourself.
• For each person, add a hashmark to the tally sheet, even if they collected bonus stickers and a library sticker.

7 stickers = 1 entry form

• Once someone has 7 of any stickers (library stickers and library bonuse stickers) they can redeem them for an entry form.
• With a pen or marker, make a large “x” over the sticker, so the sticker won’t be counted more than once.
• This year, there is no double bonus for Price and Rusk counties. With the reduced number of visits needed for an entry form, residents of those counties will still be able to earn an entry form fairly easily.

Super Explorer bonus

The Super Explorer bonus is for people that have visited all 55 MORE libraries. You put a bonus sticker on that spot on page 10. This bonus entitles them to an additional entry form. Please mark the Super Explorer box on the entry form when you give it to them! This is the only way I have to track our Super Explorers.

Phone Passport Explorers

Last year about 15 people participated by phone. This is a nice way to include people who can’t drive or have mobility issues. Record phone calls in the small box at the bottom of the tally sheet.
