GSML is excited to be participating in this statewide program! Similar to the Passport to Connecticut Libraries, families can visit participating libraries (and a museum and state park!) to get their “Creature Containment Booklet” stamped! Participants will need at least 5 stamps to be entered into the drawings at the end. There are over 40 participating locations around Connecticut! Stop by GSML starting on June 16 to pick up your booklet-you will have 2 months to collect stamps! There will even be a free celebration on August at the Southington Drive-In! 🦖 🦕

June is here and so are new programs! Summer Reading also starts this month. We have lots in store for summer fun!

Benny has not been feeling so great lately and after a vet visit and medications last week, we have already spent $216 trying to get him better. We are starting a fundraisier to raise additional funds to cover his veterinary care in case he needs more testing and medications. We appreciate any and all help!

Benny is our much beloved library cat who greets all who enter the library's doors and also… Aubrey Hines needs your support for Support Benny the Library Cat
