At Home With Wilton Library

If you’re struggling to decide what to read, or can’t join an actual book club right now, celebrity book club reads just might be what you’re looking for. They can be great sources of inspiration for what to read next. Check out these selections from Oprah Winfrey, who started the celebrity book club craze, as well as those from Reese Witherspoon's Book Club, designed to elevate female voices.

First turkey, then Giving Tuesday! Mark your calendar for December 1 to participate in Giving Tuesday. Wilton Library is excited to participate for the second year in this global day of giving. And we already have momentum! Coldwell Banker Cares has posted a $1,000 challenge grant for those in the community to follow suit and give on that day. Let's come together to drive generosity to philanthropically bolster important non-profit organizations like Wilton Library.

Wilton Library offers so many ways to enjoy your favorite music, movies and TV shows. You can peruse our DVD and CD collections in-person by appointment, or place a hold in the catalog and pick up at the Drive Thru, or stream from one of our digital entertainment services, available free to Wilton residents with a Wilton Library card. Give these a try:

Join us for a virtual Poetry in Motion performance. For 11 years, Wilton Library organized this poetry and arts-based event. It enabled teens to use poetry to express their views, concerns, hopes and dreams before a live audience. Many of those students are now in college, pursuing careers, or working on doctoral degrees. They have agreed to reunite for one evening and perform their latest poems....this time about their experiences during 2020 and hopes for the future. Sponsored by the John and Patricia Curran Teen Fund. For teens and adults. REGISTER HERE in order to receive the invitation link to the Zoom session and the event playbill.
