Wilton Library’s Holiday Book Sale

The library’s holiday book sale in the gallery is a seasonal delight. Bargains can be found-most of the items are new or like-new condition, making a terrific opportunity for holiday gift-giving. Items include books, unopened CDs and DVDs, children’s books. As items are sold, new ones appear daily, thanks to the hard-working book sale volunteers, who always seem to have an un-ending supply of tantalizing offerings. All sales support the library. Open during regular library hours through December 23.

Tales to Tails

Saturday, December 17, 11-noon
ROAR’s (Ridgefield Operation Animal Rescue) Therapy Dog Program will be bringing therapy dogs to the library for children to read to them. The use of trained therapy dogs in reading programs can result in children who feel comfortable reading out loud, read more often, attempt more difficult books, and actually look forward to reading. Children must read independently to participate in this program. Registration is required.

Children ages 4-7 are invited to join us for a fun, holiday-themed story time. Children will hear Hanukkah and Christmas stories and enjoy an activity. No registration. Caregivers must remain in the building. Sponsored by the Coyle Family Young Readers Fund.

New Perspectives Film Series: Nursery University

Saturday, December 17, 7:30-9:30 pm
Chronicling the incredibly competitive process of nursery school admissions, Nursery University is horrifyingly like what parents will experience for their children in a dozen short years. The drill of finding space for toddlers in preschool classrooms that have limited availability and therefore pricey admissions fees is daunting, nerve-wracking and breakdown-producing. Suggested donation of $5. Refreshments served. The New Perspectives Documentary series is programmed and moderated by filmmaker, Megan Smith-Harris. A Q&A will follow the film. Registration highly recommended.
