Everyone loves puzzles! In February the Friends of the Wethersfield Library held a pop-up puzzle sale. It was so successful that nearly all the puzzles sold out in just one day! The proceeds will go toward sponsoring Library programs and activities. We want to thank the community for donating so many of these puzzles. Without your help we could not have done it!
Another pop-up sale, this time for children’s books, was held in June. The proceeds made on this sale will help finance Library programs and events for the community. Thank you for your support!
