Manchester Participating In Passport To Connecticut Libraries

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

Manchester Public Library is one of over one hundred Connecticut libraries proudly participating in this initiative of the Connecticut Library Association offered in conjunction with National Library Week, which takes place during April. The program, open to adults and children, encourages residents to explore the amazing diversity of our state's public libraries. Each library has its own architecture, vibe and collection to explore and browse.

Beginning April 2nd get started by visiting either building of the Manchester Public Library, Mary Cheney at 586 Main Street or the Whiton Branch at 100 North Main. Pick up a Passport, get it stamped and receive a token gift. A full list of participating libraries will be available. At each visit, you must show your library card, and then the library will stamp your passport and give you another small gift.

Visit at least five different participating libraries by April 30th, and return your passport to one by May 7th, to be entered into a 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.
