National Library Week and Last Call for the Passport to CT Libraries Program
April 21, 2026View this email in your browser
Dear Neighbor,
April 19-25 is National Library Week. This yearly celebration spotlights the importance of libraries and library workers to their respective community. While libraries are a great place to acquire knowledge, they offer much more than just books - patrons can utilize work spaces, access the internet, and attend programming made for the whole family - free of charge! It can also be a place to escape the brutal heat during the summer, the brittle cold of the winter, or just a quiet spot away from home.
If you haven't been to the Westport Library, one of the best of the state, I'd encourage you to check out their website to learn more about the broad range of services and programs they offer.

In case you missed it, the Passport to Connecticut Libraries program is back and will run through April 30.
To participate, visit your local library to pick up your official program passport along with a list of participating libraries across the state. Then the adventure begins, explore as many libraries as you can throughout April!
Visit at least five different participating libraries and collect stamps from those locations (only official participating libraries count, be sure to check your list). Then, once you’re done, be sure to return your completed passport by May 11 to be entered into a prize drawing.
With nearly 200 public libraries in Connecticut—plus school, college, museum, and even church libraries—there’s an incredible variety to discover. Westport Library is not participating, but this is a great opportunity to check out other libraries throughout the state.
So grab your passport and start exploring, your next favorite library might be just around the corner!
