Last-Minute Family Movie Change

( Rated PG for mild adventure action and brief language.)

A Library for All Seasons

One of the splendid things about working at the Wallingford Public Library is observing how well each generation is served here.

Take yesterday, for example. We kicked off with a bi-lingual program story program for younger children, which was as fabulously attended as all our Children's programs. Later, in the evening, we had 2 programs running, a book program for teens interested in vampire fiction, and a movie night aimed at our adult users (we showed the marvelous 'To Have and Have Not.') We had around 30 people in each program, and all seemed to have a lovely time. Truly, it feels like we are a library for all people and all seasons.

Take a look at our calendar and find a program that works for you.
