Wilton Library is a non-profit organization operated by
a Board of Trustees and funded by a grant from the town
and donations from Friends of the Library. Founded in 1895,
the library is a modern facility that takes advantage of
technological advances to provide the information Wilton
residents seek for pleasure and business.
A staff of 14

website (http://www.wiltonlibrary.org). Close to 6,900 adults,
8,100 children, and 1,300 teens attended 552 programs offered
during 2004-2005. Programs included courtyard concerts,
internet classes, book discussions and literature courses
for adults, as well as storytimes, craft programs and musical
concerts for children.
