How is the Library funded?

As a department of the Town of Wethersfield, the Library’s operating budget is funded by the Town of Wethersfield from property tax revenues.  The Library Director and the Library Board prepare a proposed annual budget which is submitted to the Town Council through the Town Manager’s Office.
