Spring 2026

Our patrons were WILD about the Library in 2025! This past summer we had an opportunity to host creatures great and small at the Library. Young and old learned about snakes, pigs, owls, and axolotls...oh my!

In 2025 patrons explored our digital Register Citizen archive, learned new languages through MANGO, snuggled up on cold nights with a flick from Kanopy, got creeped out in the Library by paranormal presenters like Dustin Pari, stepped back in time by viewing our Early American Document archive, met new friends during our Library After Hours, and a few even took home the title of reigning family trivia champs. Yes, our patrons also borrowed books (over 70,000 of them) and traveled across dozens of fantastical worlds, met hundreds of new people and lived countless lives through the magic in those rich pages.

This year we urge you to explore the Torrington Library and experience the excitement for yourself.

Attend a free event like our popular Bring Your Own Dinner and a Movie series or a creative arts workshop such as candle or jewelry making.

If you have young children in your home, attend a weekly drop-in story time where children will hone early literacy and fine motor skills and receive a free book once a month (generously sponsored by Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and Hartford Healthcare).

Stream audiobooks from our digital library from a plane, train, automobile, or your favorite portable speaker. Pop into the building a browse through our growing print collection of cozy mysteries, hot biographies, TikTok trending authors, and DIY manuals.

Our vast collections and special services are made possible by you, our donors. Without your donations, we would not be able to offer free programming, a robust collection of new materials, or online resources like hoopla, Kanopy, and Libby.

Each year we ask that you consider making a donation to the Library. Gifts like yours help to keep the Library a viable, vibrant, and magical place to visit.

Making a donation is easy. Simply return the enclosed envelope with your gift or scan the QR code below.

We appreciate your continued support. We do hope that you will take time to visit the Library and see first hand how your donations make an impact each day. Thank you and have a wonderful Spring!

Warmly,

Steven Temkin, President
and
Jessica Gueniat, Director
