Passport to Connecticut Libraries is back, and Brainerd Library is a part of it! Your library card opens the world to you through books, media, and online content. 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 celebrate National Library Week during 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.
Pick up your passport the Brainerd Library. We 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 usually give you another small gift.
If you visit at least five participating libraries and return your passport to a participating library by May 8, 2020 you will be entered into a state-wide drawing. The raffle is for a total of four $150 gift cards, one for adults and one for children in each category. Category one: each participant who visits at least five libraries will earn a raffle ticket. Category two: each library will select the adult and the child who have visited the most libraries for submission to the Public Libraries Section. There will be a final “all libraries” raffle among the contestants who have visited the most libraries.
