Brookfield Library Participates in Passport to CT Libraries Program

News From the Brookfield Library:

Passport to Connecticut Libraries: Did you know that you can use your Brookfield Library card at any public library in Connecticut? Throughout September, you’re invited to participate in the Passport to Connecticut Libraries challenge. Take a library road trip and be entered to win prizes! You can pick up a Passport at The Brookfield Library starting September 2, then take it to any (or all) of the participating libraries, where it will be stamped and you’ll receive a small gift.

At the end of the month, turn in your passport to any participating library to be entered in two drawings: “Most Libraries Visited” and one Random Drawing for all participants. The drawing will be for two adult prizes of $150 each and two children’s (under 18) of $100 each. In addition, the Brookfield Library patron who visits the most libraries will win a $30 gift certificate to 189 Sports Café on Federal Road.
