Vist CT libraries April 2-30 and you may win a great prize!

Your library card opens the world to you through books, audiobooks, music CDs and DVDs.  Now let your library card open the doors of Connecticut libraries by participating in the Passport to Connecticut Libraries Program!

Over one hundred Connecticut libraries are proud to participate in the Connecticut Library Association’s Passport to Connecticut Libraries Program. To help highlight National Library Week in April, the Passport to Connecticut Libraries Program invites you to visit all of the participating Connecticut public libraries. Each library has its own architecture, vibe and collection to explore and browse! The program is open to adults and children, and the hope is that it encourages residents to explore the amazing diversity of our public libraries.  

Starting on Monday, April 2, visit your local participating library, to pick up your Passport. They will stamp it and give you a token gift to get you started. Then, take your Passport along as you visit other participating libraries. At each visit, you must show your library card, and then the library will stamp your passport and give you another small gift.  If you don’t have a free library card from your hometown library, now’s the time to get one!

Those who visit at least five participating libraries and return the stamped passport to a participating library by May 7th, will be entered into one state-wide drawing for a chance to win a $150 Visa gift card for adults (18 and up) and a $100 Visa gift card for children (under 18). This is a state-wide contest where four winners will be selected: one adult and one child from a random drawing from all who visited at least five libraries, and one adult and one child from a random drawing from all who visited the most libraries.  In addition to Danbury Library, Southbury Public Library, C.H. Booth Library in Newtown, Ridgefield Library, New Milford Public Library, and The Brookfield Library are among the local libraries participating this year.  

Program details and a complete listing of participating libraries will be available starting on Thursday, March 29^th at danburylibrary.org.  The Danbury Library is located at 170 Main Street in Danbury, CT.
