There is public parking behind, but the construction makes it challenging to get to. There is street parking, and if you're terrible at it like me, you may circle the block a few times. Inside they have a display so you can see what the future building will look like. They also have their regular children's and adults sections. The new building should be open in 2023, and looks like it will definitely be worth a visit!

It was followed by a marvelous chamber music concert featuring a collection mostly contemporary works influenced by a connection with nature.

It wasn't super busy when I went, but would suggest getting a free ticket online in advance just in case.

I'm unclear why there are hippos and elephants outside, unless it's just because they're awesome art.

There is also an innovation station, where you can work on art like monogram or paper arrangements.

A lot has changed in the past 30+ years and the library is nicely modernized but still keeps a familiar and welcoming feel. A big draw is the children's room. The book and media selection is fantastic, there is a fish tank and puzzles and games, and there are lots of year-round programs offered for kids of various ages. I also appreciate the bargain used books for sale - I always make sure to check these shelves out as several times I've found excellent like-new condition hardcover books for just a dollar or two. Thanks Wilton Library for being such a wonderful part of the town for so many years!
