October 2019 Friends of the Wethersfield Library Annual Meeting

There was plenty of good food, drink, music and good company at this year’s annual meeting on October 15th! The annual event celebrated and recognized all the wonderful volunteers for the many hours they worked throughout the year in support of the library. For added interest at our event, the Friends shared some of their favorite novels read this year or ones they want to read, which we in turn would like to share with all of you.  We hope you enjoy the Friends’ Favorites! And if you are not yet a Friend, please consider joining us as a Friend of the Wethersfield Library.
