Next week at New Canaan Library

The Library will be closed December 17 through mid-February

After over a decade of preparation, we are excited to open the NEW New Canaan Library in February 2023. To ensure that our books are on their shelves and that our team is ready to deliver excellent services in our new space, we need to briefly shut our doors to prepare for the move. 

Our last open day in this building will be Friday, December 16. We look eagerly forward to reopening in the new space in February. MORE & FAQ>>

Share Your Library Memories

Monday, 12/5 through Friday, 12/16

Whether you’ve been coming to the Library for 50 years or have just joined, we invite you to share your favorite moments in the Library’s Memory Book! Stop by the Library between December 5-16, get your supplies, and add your voice.

In writing or with art, express your favorite memory of the current building, or share what aspect of the new library you’re especially excited about! We will then create a permanent memory book and add it to our New Canaan collection. Can't make it to the Library? Adults and children alike can email their writing or art to [email protected], or submit written memories HERE.

ANNUAL APPEAL 2022

New Canaan Library is an independent 501(c)3 charity which depends on support from individuals like you. While the Town of New Canaan provides a grant that helps cover the Library’s operating expenses, the balance, about $800,000, must come from the generous support of our members. Your tax-deductible gift provides the exceptional collections, youth learning & literacy programs, adult programs, classes, and more. Thank you for your support!
