Hello all,
I'm Jen Sullivan, the new chair of CLA's Public Libraries Section, writing
to let you know that the Passport to CT Libraries program will return in
2022!  If you haven't already heard, the CLA Public Libraries Section is
planning to run the program again during the month of April, after a
pandemic hiatus in 2020.
*It will run exactly as it did in the past, beginning with library sign-up
on the CLA website on February 1st and closing March 1st.*

For those of you who registered and paid in 2020—good news! Your money
carries over to 2022. All you will have to do is register again.

If you did not participate in 2020 and would like to this year, great! You
will have to register and pay the $10 fee (it's how we pay for the prizes).

*If you are unsure of your status*, please email me
<jsullivan at woodbridgetownlibrary.org>! I have a spreadsheet and can have an
answer to you in minutes.

How it works:
It is based on the CT Wine Trail Passport program. Patrons register at a
participating library, receive a passport and must visit at least 5
different participating libraries to be considered for the raffle prizes.
They have from April 1st to April 30th and then must submit the passport
(or a copy if they want to keep it) to the registering library, who will
then determine a random winner and a Most Libraries Visited winner, both
for children and adults. The library will then send those passports either
by US Mail or through DeliverIT to me, for the final drawing.

Every participating library will print and offer the template passport and
list of libraries to their patrons, which the Public Libraries Section will
provide. Each participating library will display participation signage on
their doors, a template of which will be provided by the PLS. In addition,
each library will be responsible for stamping their visitors’ passports and
giving each visitor a token gift (library pencil, magnet, anything you
want). Each participant who visits 5 libraries will earn the right for
submission to a drawing to win a gift card (one adult and one children’s).
In addition each library will select a winner of the Most Libraries Visited
for submission to a second drawing. There will be four gift card prizes
total (2 adult, 2 children). If each library wishes to offer further prizes
to their own patron participants, that is up to each library. When
submitting the passports at the end of the program, each library will be
responsible for submitting statistics on how many patrons registered, and
how many visitors each library hosted.  For more information, please
contact me via email: jsullivan at woodbridgetownlibrary.org.

Hope to have you all participate!
