Welcome to the Stonington Free Library, located on Wadawanuck Square in the historic Borough of Stonington, Connecticut. We serve all of the Town of Stonington, including the villages of Mystic and Pawcatuck. Any resident of the Town of Stonington can become a patron of the Library by applying for a library card.

What's New

Spring Cleaning at the library - thanks to a capital improvement grant from the Town of Stonington, the Children's Room and the Teen Room have been painted and carpeted.

Have you noticed the 53 foot trailor in the library driveway? It contains 780 boxes of books, tables, chairs and book shelves from the main floor. We are painting and carpeting the center room (added 1956) and the stack area (added 1990). Once the carpet is installed, we will begin restoring everything to its place, which will take about a week.
We continue to have new books, movies and Internet access availble in the original library.
Thank you for your patience! Please come in and let us know what you think of our new look!

As a fundraiser for the Stonington Free Library, the Stonington Education Fund and Pine Point School, Intramusical Theatricals will perform the final two performances of The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley at the Stonington High School Auditorium on May 18th. Click here for order form. This professional performance has been made possible through the efforts and support of The Friends of Jeff Brown, The Washington Trust Company, Robinson & Cole, The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and others.		The Stonington Free Library Summer Store will be back! Sign up, beginning June 23, for the "Catch the Reading Bug" Summer Reading Program. More details coming in May. What are you doing this summer?

This is an informal group that gathers monthly. The group selects titles each month to read and discuss.		*Thank you* to everyone who has so generously donated to our 2007-2008 Annual Appeal. We are three quarters of the way to our $125,000 goal, and, with your help, we hope to reach it. Your donations provide over 1/3 of our income for the year, and we base our decisions on material purchases, programs, and other library needs on the response we get to the appeal. Thank you for your continued support of the Library.
