This is the time of year when the word "thankful" is most often used. At Wilton Library Association,
we are thankful now and always for our strong supporters who keep this wonderful jewel in the heart of the community flourishing.
From our supporters who volunteer hundreds of hours to our loyal Friends of the Library who provide donations large and small, we are thankful for your contributions in all forms. It is this support that continues to make Wilton Library the place where people come to enrich their lives, connect with others, become informed and get inspired.
During this upcoming weekend, we invite you to enjoy all that is yours in Wilton Library beginning with the
Holiday Stroll where refreshments and warmth await strollers and shoppers. Come take advantage of our
Holiday Book Sale with wonderful items for all, our Giving Tree with choice selections for our collection and the
Art Show that promises unique gifting opportunities as well.
Our
Annual Appeal also takes place this time of year whereby your donations of any size help us to continue our mission of providing the books, magazines, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs and digital resources that you use. Additionally, your contributions support the wide variety of excellent programming that is offered at the library.
On behalf of the staff and the trustees, we want to thank you all for your generous support and we say "thanks" to your "giving" in whatever ways it comes to Wilton Library.
Wishing you the very best this holiday season and throughout the coming year.
Elaine Tai-Lauria, Executive Director

Breaking Code: A One-Hour Entertaining Lesson in Coding
Wilton Library is joining Computer Science Education Week, a national movement to promote Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM). One-hour "lessons" in coding will be given throughout the afternoon for adults and children ages 6+ at the following intervals: 1 - 2pm; 2:30 - 3:30pm; 4 - 5pm; and 5:30 - 6:30pm. Participants can use library computers or bring their own devices. A short introduction will be given at the start of each hour. Attendees participate at their own speed. Join us as we peek behind the coding curtain together! We encourage kids and parents, friends, or anyone with a "How'd they do that?" curiosity.

For Wilton Library to continue to fulfill its commitment to our community's future generations, we need your continued support and investment. Each year,
25% of the library's budget has to be raised through essential fundraising efforts. It is with these resources that 100% of the books, DVDs, CDs and digital services can be purchased and made available for patrons like you to borrow or download. It's as easy as
clicking here to make your donation now or stop by the library to pick up a remittance envelope. Thank you in advance for your continued support and your generous donation to
