Start by visiting your local library to pick up your official program passport along with a list of participating libraries. Then explore as many libraries throughout the state as you can this month. 

Visit at least five different participating libraries and collect stamps from each location to enter a drawing for a $200 Visa gift card.

With nearly 200 public libraries in Connecticut—plus school, college and museum libraries—there’s an incredible variety to discover. Each library offers something unique, and this program is a fun way to experience all the amazing resources and services libraries across the state have to offer.

Here's the list of participating libraries along with the Passport to CT Libraries 2026 Map.

The Connecticut Library Association will be giving away a total of six $200 gift cards, three for adults and three for children. Return you passport to any participating library by May 11 to be eligible for the gift card drawings. 

Each age group will have three gift card winners: one for 25+ libraries visited, one for 5+ libraries visited, and a "Top Traveler" for the person who visited the most participating libraries.

So grab your passport and start exploring! Your next favorite library might be just around the corner!
