We had a great evening for our first meeting of the literary club (which so far lacks a proper name). More than 20 people attended the event. We agreed to meet the third Thursday of each month, making the next meeting Nov. 18th from 5 to 7 p.m. We will meet again at the Baker’s Market Cafe. A specially-priced dinner will be served at 5:00 p.m., but it is not necessary to order a meal. I’ll be putting up a page devoted to this group (look under the Program/Services tab), which will include a list of the books we talk about during the meeting. . . . → Read More: From the Director: Literary Club Update

In brief … The Wilton Free Public Library is located in the foothills of western Maine, alongside Wilson Stream in downtown Wilton. The Library, which serves the communities and citizens of the Wilton, Dryden, East Wilton, and East Dixfield was incorporated in 1901 as The Wilton Free Public Library Association. Although it is significantly subsidized by the Town of Wilton, the Library remains a private, non-profit corporation. We are proud to be a Family Place Library, emphasizing services and collections for young parents and their children.
