Who we are
Russell Library is the principle public library serving the people of Middletown, CT.
In celebration of Russell Library’s 150th year serving Middletown, we decided to spread joy and have fun in 2026 by running the Russell Library Games. Between the anniversaries of our doors opening to the public (April 5) and our incorporation (November 17) players may join the Games and find opportunities around town to accumulate points in order to earn prizes. Each month a top scorer will win a $150 Downtown Business District gift cards. Ultimately, one winner will receive a coveted Grand Prize and bragging rights as the Most Middletown of Them All (MMoTA).
