Your gift to the  Annual Friends Campaign enables us to provide the programs, services, collections, and technology that make Wilton Library the center for enrichment in our community. Roughly 25 cents of every dollar of our budget needs to come from private donations. These donations alone fund our collection materials, programs, and services. We are not a municipal library, so our budget is not funded entirely through tax support  We must count on the generosity of the community to keep the level of programming, services and collection content high.  Please make your tax-deductible donation here today. Thank you for your support!
