At Home With Wilton Library

May 27, 2020

Please Support Our Annual Appeal

For over 125 years, Wilton Library has been here for the community and for you. But we are not a municipal public library. Approximately 25% of our budget must come from donations. We depend on your financial support to cover every program, service, and collection material we offer (including digital). So please act today. Our appeal for the annual friends campaign is digital now and it couldn't be easier to give. Please make a gift to support Wilton Library today.
