What
are 10 great things about living in New Canaan? The Library ranks high on most
people's lists. The Library offers something for everyone: great books, bestsellers
and beyond, a new Children's Room, family programs, young adult books, computers,
DVDs, audio books, lectures, discussions with renowned authors and speakers, and
much more! New
Canaan Library is a partnership among our donors, patrons, volunteers and the
Town. In 2004-2005, we need $300,000 in private contributions to bridge the gap
between the Town grant and the actual costs of offering all that we do. Many of
you have been very generous, and we are most grateful. However, we still need
$90,000 to reach our goal, so that the Library can continue to be one of the cornerstones
of New Canaan.
Yes,
I'd like to contribute to the Library! Thank
you. |
