Passports to Connecticut Libraries 2026

Passports to Connecticut Libraries 2026

Brought to you by the Connecticut Library Association

April 1 – 30, 2026

It’s back! The Passports to Connecticut Libraries program returns this April, inviting library lovers of all ages to explore libraries across the state.

Beginning April 1, stop by your local library to pick up your program passport and a list of participating libraries. Then start exploring! Visit as many participating libraries as you like between April 1 and April 30. At each stop, get your passport stamped—and you might even pick up some fun library swag along the way. Turn in your completed passport to your local library by May 11 to be entered into the statewide prize drawing.

No library card is required to participate, although we hope you’ll sign up for one at your local library if you don’t already have one.

You don’t have to visit every library to take part. Anyone who visits at least five participating libraries will be entered into the random prize drawing. Be sure to check the list that comes with your passport to confirm which libraries are officially participating—only stamps from those libraries count toward the drawing.

This year, there are six chances to win a $200 Visa gift card. Random drawings will be held statewide in the following categories:
• Adult who visited the most libraries
• Child under 18 who visited the most libraries
• Adult who visited more than 25 libraries
• Child under 18 who visited more than 25 libraries
• Adult who visited more than five libraries
• Child under 18 who visited more than five libraries

Prize drawings will take place on June 15, 2026

Start planning your library adventure—we can’t wait to see where your passport takes you!
