Crowds Come to Honor Vern

Vern Taylor laughs at First Selectman Melissa Mack’s tales on the special day held for him at the temporary Kent Memorial Library. Before his stroke, he had been a loyal and very helpful library volunteer for several decades. His wife, Dorian Taylor, left rear, laughs along with him. (She retired from the library recently; his daughter, Wendy, is children’s librarian.) As many as 50 friends at a time crowded the limited space to honor Vern. Many wore funny T-shirts in his honor; his read, “Follow in my footsteps and you’ll eventually reach the library.”

Teen Programs

Fall is officially here, with November bringing thoughts of hot cider, warm fires and reading. It’s always a good time to stop into the library to grab a few books (we have lots of new titles) or old movies as an alternative to staring at your phone during rainy weekends.

Library PCB Abatement Begins
