From the Director's Office
As summer winds down and September arrives, we’re excited to welcome everyone back to Willington Public Library for a Fall filled with reading, learning, programs, and opportunities to connect.
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!
September is the perfect time to discover all that your library card has to offer. Whether you’re a longtime library user or have never had a card, we invite you to stop by the library and sign up.
A library card opens the door to so much more than books. Explore our collection of print and digital resources, audiobooks, movies, programs, museum passes, and much more. If you already have a card, September is also a great time to make sure it’s current and start taking advantage of everything available to you. Bring the whole family and make the library part of your fall routine!
Welcome Back, Students!
We hope all of our Willington students have had a wonderful start to the new school year. We’re happy to welcome students, families, teachers, and school staff back to the library.
The library is a great place for students to find books for school assignments, discover their next favorite series, work on projects, or simply find a quiet place to read and learn. Parents and caregivers can also explore our children's and young adult collections and upcoming programs. As the school year gets underway, remember that your public library is here to support learning at every age.
Fall Programs Are Here
The arrival of fall means a new season of library programs! Keep an eye on our calendar and social media for upcoming opportunities for children, teens, adults, and families. From storytimes and monthly children's activities to book discussions, educational programs, special events, and community gatherings, there is something for everyone. We encourage you to try something new, bring a friend, and make the library a regular part of your fall.
A Place to Connect
One of the most wonderful things about a public library is that it belongs to everyone. The library is a place to borrow a book, attend a program, get help finding information, meet a neighbor or gather as a group, or simply spend some time in a welcoming community space.
As we move into a new season, visit often, explore something new, and let us know how we can better serve you.
Thank you for making Willington Public Library an important part of our community. We look forward to seeing you this fall! Happy reading, and welcome to a new season at the library!
