TGIF Friday

It's the weekend. Kick back, relax, read and don't forget to celebrate our Wilton High School Class of 2020 who graduate this Saturday. So much to celebrate -- including us! It's our 125th Anniversary and we're getting closer to June 22, the date our Drive-Thru re-opens. We can't wait to see your smiling faces! Let's celebrate all the graduates and libraries around the globe. Enjoy these library reads, graduation links and fun resources.

Enjoy These Books Celebrating Libraries

From novels, to memoirs, to explorations of how libraries unite, these Shhhh! eBooks and eAudiobooks feature and celebrate libraries as an integral part of their narratives. They may be downloaded in the Libby by OverDrive app or viewed online on our OverDrive page.

Congratulations to all the Wilton High School graduates of 2020! They have worked hard to achieve their goals, not least of which is persisting through this last, difficult semester and adjusting to the changes in their graduation celebration. We wish them all the best as they explore new vistas and new dreams. Good luck and congratulations to all!

Writing a New Story for Our 125th Birthday

To say 2020 is full of the unexpected is an understatement. Like many of your personal plans, Wilton Library had grand celebrations scheduled for our 125th Anniversary year that had to be revised. At this time, we can't gather together at the library to celebrate our 125th year. Instead, we invite you to our virtual celebration of Wilton Library via this special website:

www.wiltonlibrary.org/celebration/

We were here for you 125 years ago, we are here for you now.

Visit this website to see how we have evolved through the years... the milestones... the accomplishments... the breakthroughs. Please be a part of our continued, shared history and support Wilton Library now.
