Mrs. Welch’s first grade class recently paid a visit to the Westport Library’s Children’s Room. They all received an autographed copy of local author Sheri Amsel’s “A Wetland Walk” as well as new library cards. This new five-year initiative was made possible by a gift in memory of Gertrude and Abraham Wolf. The first grader’s have since donated a children’s book to the library and they each sent us a thank you card. The book and cards are on display near the circulation desk.

The west entrance to the library (on Harris Lane) has recently been enhanced by the addition of a new bench. Not only does the bench provide a comfortable place from which to access Wi-Fi when the library is closed, it is also a pleasant spot for a rest and contemplation at anytime. And the location is perfect: just outside the library door and sheltered on the porch.
Next time you are in the neighborhood why not take a break, sit for a time, and enjoy.
Bench Notes:
Design idea & precise measurements by Monette Stephens
Finely built and crafted by Lee Adams
Masterfully painted by Carolyn Vanderhoof
Firmly secured by Al Haberle
