Our Annual Fund Campaign is underway. Make your gift today and join in supporting our mission to be an essential place for lifelong learning, culture and connection for everyone in our community.
“The NewCanaanLibrary has evolved into much more than a collection of books; it serves as a cultural center bringing together our community for thought-provoking, world-class programs and events.
Even with a multi-million dollar change in plans, fundraising for the newNewCanaanLibrary has been so successful that in October, the library asked the town to cut its $10 million dollar loan down by $3 million and the reduced total still covers not just one, but two library buildings.
The Plan at a Glance Beautiful new Town Green Triple-sized children’s room and garden State-of-the-art auditorium for 300 MakerLab for STEAM learning 9 new meeting rooms Comfortable seating and quiet spaces Business Center and cafe Public roof garden Covered parking & more spaces
The Library leases 76 spaces from the Town of NewCanaan to offer free parking for our patrons. All other spaces in the lot remain municipal and are subject to metering rules.
