Museum Pass Contest

During the months of July and August, the Friends of the Kent Memorial Library are sponsoring a contest at the library. Each time a museum pass is checked out, the patron’s name is entered to win a $25 gift certificate from Barnes and Noble. One gift certificate will be awarded each month. Each month the contest starts anew. Another exciting development at the library is the purchase of a new software by the Kent Memorial Library which will enable Suffield patrons to reserve all of the museum passes and print most of them from home.
