Happy Holiday from all of us at the Ledyard Public Library

We will be closed on Sunday, December 24 and Monday, December 25.

We will be closed on Sunday, December 31 and Monday, January 1.

Improved Large Print Collection!

We are expanding our large print collection, thanks to funds from the American Library Association Libraries Transforming Communities grant and the generosity of the Ledyard Lions Club. You'll find a newly created large print collection in Children's and Young Adult. You'll also see added titles and genres in the Adult collection. Let us know if you have any requests for titles!

Mayor Fred was a guest reader at Preschool Storytime!

Thank you to Mayor Fred for being our special guest reader at storytime last month! It was dinosaur week, and it goes without saying that we had a fabulous time. We especially want to thank Mayor Fred for his support of the library and all he does for the community.

The Snowflake Festival that was held on November 18^th was extremely successful! If you were notified that you were a top bidder, pick up your items by December 2 at Bill Library. Proceeds benefit Ledyard Public Library and its patrons. If you were not the top bidder, there are still some items for sale at each library.

We are incredibly thankful to all who helped make the event a success. Every bit of assistance, be it large or small, contributed and made our event run smoothly.

Remember to visit the ongoing book sales at both library buildings (in the meeting room at Bill Library and the Book Cellar at Gales Ferry Library), each open during normal library hours. All sales go toward support of the library.
