Join in some Wilton Winter Carnival fun this Sunday! There will be outdoor winter activities to enjoy in the center, and in the library with a warm fireplace and fun activities for kids and adults alike. Join in on button making, a winter craft, "#bookface" photos using green screen technology, and kids can write a letter to the library in "Why Children Love Wilton Library." These letters will later be bound in a book for the Wilton Children's Library Forever Collection. Be sure to check out the library's new  125th  anniversary  logo ice sculpture created especially for the carnival.
