ANSONIA - The newly-formed Friends of the Ansonia Library will hold its first event - a membership drive and book sale - at the Ansonia Harvest Festival from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Oct. 6.


The group “will be dedicated to foster citizens' interest in supporting a superior library, one equipped with staff, collections, and facilities to serve the cultural needs of an expanding community,” Susan Olmsted, president, said in a written release today.

“In addition, our goals are to raise funds for essential library materials, equipment and programs for which the city budget does not provide, encourage members of the community to recognize and use the functions and facilities of the library,” the release continued.

Olmsted also said the group's goal is to “increase the membership in the Friends of the Ansonia Library to bring together concerned citizens who appreciate the value of a high-quality library and who are willing to devote time to accomplish our goals.”


The Ansonia Library is at 53 S. Cliff St.
