At Home With Wilton Library March 27, 2020  While our physical Wilton Library space remains closed, we will continue to offer you helpful information as well as selections from our digital library.

TGIF Edition! It's the kick-off to the weekend! Here's some information and ideas to make your weekend time at home fun, productive and entertaining.

Get cooking this weekend with new eCookbooks To download any of these titles, first download the free Libby by OverDrive app on your phone or tablet . You will need your Wilton Library card number to set up your account. Digital Library access is provided to Wilton Library cardholders that have a residency in Wilton. If you are a non-Wilton resident, please check with your hometown library for these services. Need a Wilton Library card? Call 203-762-6334 to get one.

Walking in Wilton In addition to our beloved but busy Weir Farm and Norwalk River Valley Trail, there are several less traveled open spaces and walking trails to explore in Wilton. Many are dog-on-leash friendly. Click here to explore the Town of Wilton list and see trail maps. Another great option is to walk your own neighborhood. Remember to always practice safe distancing. To add some pep to your step, visit our digital resource Hoopla to download or stream hundreds of music albums including new pop & rock, country, soundtracks, rap, electronic, classic rock, broadway shows, and children’s music.

Virtual Visits to Museums and Zoos While our Museum Pass program is temporarily on hold, take advantage of virtual visits, tours and live web cams on offer from several local, national and international institutions. Here are a few to get you virtually out and about: Visit the Red Pandas at Beardsley Zoo via the zoo-cams live feed from 8:30am-6pm Visit the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History through several virtual tour options Several exhibits are live-streamed by the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium. Check out all the aquarium's cams here If your own home is feeling a bit cozy, escape to the gilded (and expansive) Palace of Versailles, home to French King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette
