It is free to print from tourism offices and downloadable as a pdf. To obtain the pdf go to: https://www.lithuania.travel/en/publications  Click on the Jewish Cultural Heritage In Lithuania. It is available both in English and Lithuanian. The guide covers both larger towns/cities: Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaaipeda Sialuliai,Telsiai and Ukmerge and smaller areas with entries on almost two dozen other localities.

Another site, https://www.lzb.lt/en/2018/11/21/visit-the-lost-shtetlakh-the-jewish-towns-in-lithuania/  has  a section on visiting the "Lost Shtetls of Lithuania". This was a joint-venture between the Lithuanian Jewish Community and www.lietuvon. It includes links to downloadable pdf materials for many sites. Some of the material is in English and Lithuanian, while other information is only in Lithuanian. Use a translation service such as https://translate.google.com   to help you navigate the pages.
