The Charles Wright PTO says “Thanks” to the Friends for our help in achieving their fund-raising goal!

The Friends donated the books and media material that did not sell at the last book sale to the Charles Wright PTO. Gena Golas, the PTO rep, advised that the Charles Wright PTO far exceeded their media goal with 1,218 POUNDS of media with the help of the Friends’ contribution. And our contribution earned the PTO a $50 bonus! As a result, the fundraiser earned $900 for their PTO which will go a long way for programs for their students and staff! In addition to the donation of media, the Friends assisted with the transportation of the material.

Well done Friends and Well done Charles Wright PTO!

The Friends have done it again!  We have put together another Summer Fun rolling cooler to be raffled off this spring. Everything you need for a great day at the beach can be yours for the price of a raffle ticket! Besides the awesome rolling cooler, the items include: beach towels, sunblock, puzzle, picnic set and a tablecloth.

To help you fill the cooler, there are gift cards from Stop & Shop, Village Pizza and the Main Street Creamery. And for some additional fun, there is a $100 Wethersfield Park & Rec gift card! Total value for all this is $400!!

The cooler and all these goodies are on display in front of the library circulation desk.
