At Home With Wilton Library

The end of summer is fast approaching and soon it will be time to remember what day of the week it is again. Savor these last lazy days with a day trip close to home or a fun seasonal read. We've also got some great programs to close out the summer and usher in the fall. Be sure to mark your calendar for lots of activity, At Home with Wilton Library.

There's still time to squeeze in a few more day trips and make the most of your summer, staying close to home. Take one of these Day Trip books on the road and discover adventures you can enjoy just a quick ride away. These titles may be reserved in the catalog and picked up at the Drive-Thru, downloaded in the Libby by OverDrive app or viewed online on our OverDrive page.

What a town of readers we have! Thanks to all who participated in our summer reading programs for children, adults and teens. Our teens alone read 40,731 hours! Congratulations to the teen grand prize winner, Diya Vijit Nair (pictured here) who received a gift certificate sponsored by the John and Patricia Curran Teen Fund, and one of our two adult winners is Stephanie Bellino; both will receive $25 Chamber of Commerce gift certificates donated by Fairfield County Bank.
