Portland Library Participating in Passport to CT Libraries Program

Portland Public Library, 20 Freestone Ave., is participating in the first ever Passport to Connecticut Libraries Program, running in all participating public libraries from Sept. 2 through Sept. 30.

Ask for a passport at the library and take it to at least five libraries on the list to be eligible to win a $150 gift card for adults or a $100 gift card for children. The program is based on the Connecticut Wine Trail’s passport program and was created to encourage exploration of local libraries.

“Every participating library will offer a passport to their patrons, that each patron will take to any participating library to be stamped and receive a small gift,” according to the Connecticut Library Association, the sponsor of the passport program.

At the end of September, the passports can be turned in and entered into 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.
