2019 Annual Appeal |
Did you know that there are more public libraries in the United States than Starbucks Coffee Shops? Why? Because libraries are thriving community centers providing millions of people with FREE access to resources, helping them lead better and happier lives.
We are thrilled to share with you how we at the Torrington Library are striving to better engage, enrich, and empower our own corner of Connecticut--all thanks to your generous support.
Perhaps one of the most exciting additions to the library’s myriad of free resources is Lynda.com. Lynda.com is a leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology, and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. With tutorials in five languages, Lynda.com is a global platform for success. Top Lynda.com learning paths include business, design, web, photography, marketing, software and more. Lynda.com is FREE to ALL Torrington Library cardholders and is sponsored in part by Torrington Savings Bank. We encourage you to visit our website and explore the thousands of free online tutorials that Lynda.com offers.
On Friday April 5th, over 90 local residents came together to celebrate the completion of a new mural in the Torrington Library’s Teen Room. This graphic-novel style mural, the result of a 5-month long collaborative project between local artist Marc Stolfi, members of the Torrington Library’s Teen Advisory Board and other local teens, depicts a collection of teen pop-culture icons and other themes that will resonate across the generations.
The Torrington Library Teen Mural Project was generously funded by a grant from the CT Department of Economic and Community Development’s Office of the Arts (which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts) as well as the Litchfield Hills Historical Automobile Club. The Mural can be viewed during regular hours in the Teen Room, located on the main floor of the Torrington Library.
Aside from new online resources and exciting public art projects, we continue to offer thousands of new print books; hundreds of free programs for adults, teens, and children; a robust eBook and electronic resource offering; dozens of free and discounted passes to area attractions; mobile hotspots you can bring with you on vacation; and so much more!
The above is a small sampling of what your library has to offer our community. ALL of our initiatives and resources are possible because of you! We thank you for your past and future support. Within these pages you will find fellow community members who have given and made a difference. We hope you’ll join our list of supporters in 2019 and become an active member of your library family.
We’ll see you at the library!
