Passport to Connecticut Libraries

Beginning April 1st, stop by your local library and pick up your program passport and a list of participating libraries. Then visit as many of those libraries as you like between April 1 and April 30, get your passport stamped (and maybe pick up some cool library swag), and turn your passport in no later than May 11th to be entered into the prize drawing.

*

- Do I have to have a library card to participate?

- Nope - but we hope you'll sign up for one at your local library if you don't have one already!

- Do I have to visit all of the libraries?

- No. Anyone who visits at least five different participating libraries will be entered into the random drawing for one of our prizes. (Check the list that comes with your passport to be sure the libraries you visit are participating - only stamps from officially participating libraries count for the prize drawing.)

- Tell me more about these prizes!

- This year we have SIX chances to win a $200 Visa gift card! We'll be holding random drawings from all participants throughout the state in each of six categories: adult who visited the most libraries, child under 18 who visited the most libraries, adult who visited more than 25 libraries, child under 18 who visited more than 25 libraries, adult who visited more than five libraries, and child under 18 who visited more than five libraries. (Please note that, since every participating library has to get their collected passports to the state coordinator, the drawing will not happen until June 15th.)

- So why do you do this program anyway?

- Because there are almost 200 public libraries in Connecticut (yes, that's more libraries than there are towns!), plus school libraries, college libraries, museum libraries, church libraries...and every one is different! This is our way of showcasing the amazing variety of Connecticut libraries and how many awesome things our libraries are doing.
