Share your Memories and Save a Bit of Library History
|
Sign our Memory Book
We are collecting people's stories about the Ridgefield Library and what it has meant to them and their families over the years. We have started a Memory Book, which can be found near the Circulation Desk. Stop by to add your reminiscences on paper, or send them to us by email. We will be sharing them on our website soon, along with videotaped testimonials folks made at last Saturday's Community Open House.
 Buy a Brick!
You can take home a little piece of the Ridgefield Library once construction starts and a large part of the building is demolished. For just $10 you can purchase an authentic brick from the current Library as a keepsake. They make a great bookend, paperweight or doorstop - and a unique idea for Father's Day, graduation and teacher gifts! Reserve your bricks now at the Circulation Desk or purchase online, and we will contact you when bricks are ready for pick up.
