I went to thirty libraries across the state of Connecticut throughout the month of April with my library passport for Passport to Connecticut Libraries month long event. I turned it over to my local library the other day in order to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $250 gift card from VISA. I had a great time visiting so many libraries.

I live in Connecticut and I work at Rockville Public Library in Vernon as an intern

Here's a collage of Connecticut Libraries that I visited in April with a library passport

I was fortunate enough to travel across the state of Connecticut to participate in the Passport to Connecticut Libraries program and was able to visit twenty nine libraries with a library passport and get thirty stamps in it.

My favorite libraries that I visited were Mystic, Middletown and Rockville. Some of the most interesting things I found while exploring libraries were a library cat at Mystic Library, Seed Libraries, a Plant Clipping Station, and artwork exhibitions at some libraries. I turned over that passport to my local library on Friday May 1st in order to be entered into a drawing for a gift card from VISA.

Can you identify any library in CT that I have visited?

Feedback is appreciated!

TLDR- they want to make it so you’re forced to hand over your ID, face scan and or financial documents to talk to ANY AI bot. Doesn’t matter if it’s Claude, ChatGPT, your internet company’s AI bot that helps with your bill, DoorDash support, hand over your ID.

Everyone needs to contact their lawmakers and tell them to vote NO on this draconian shit.

BREAKING: Connecticut Democrats just voted AGAINST an amendment to opt into President Trump's new school choice program.

The vote was 11–25 along party lines.

It's a federal tax credit scholarship that doesn't touch a penny of local public school funding.

TLDR: The combined state and local spending will increase by $35M, but still short of the $44M claimed to be needed. What's missing in the article is how Bpt spending per pupil compares to other cities and what is the cause of the $44M shortfall.
