It’s the most wonderful time of the year….to celebrate and support your library! According to the American Library Association two-thirds of people say that if their public libraries were closed, it would have a major impact on their communities.
What would our community look like if the Torrington Library didn’t exist?
Over 36,000 people wouldn’t have access to:
This is only a fraction of what our community would miss. We cannot imagine life without our library, can you? This is why your support is vital to the Torrington Library.
In the past you have given more so we can do more for Torrington and the Northwest Corner. Will you continue to support the Torrington Library again so that we can continue to engage, enrich, and empower our beloved community?
Our Year End Appeal is kicking-off on Giving Tuesday and runs through December 31st. We hope that you will consider giving a gift to the library.
Your gift will allow us to continue to provide all of the services mentioned above and more!
Thank you for your continued support of the Torrington Library and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Warm wishes,
Charles W. Roraback, Jessica Gueniat,
President Director
