Area Rotary Clubs Fund New Community Read Program

“When we read together – when a grandfather reads to a granddaughter, when a teacher reads to a classroom, when a parent reads to a child, when a sister reads to a brother, when everyone in a town reads the same book silently, together – we are taken out of our aloneness. Together, we see

Our Strategic Plan is Now Available to the Community

These are exciting times at the Stonington Free Library! Two years ago the Board of Trustees launched a strategic planning process. We engaged a highly respected consulting firm to assist us on the most rewarding and valuable part of the planning process—engaging the community. The community’s response to our outreach was overwhelmingly positive and reflected a remarkable level of participation. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with the community as we implement new strategic initiatives to improve Stonington Free Library’s services and programs. We are grateful for the generous support of the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut whose funding made it possible for the library to create this plan.

The SFL Evening book group will be discussing "Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" by Olga Tokarczuk on April 7th @ 5:30pm. "In a remote Polish village, Janina, a crank and a recluse, devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology and translating the poetry of William Blake. Then a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. She is certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind . . . " Copies are available!
