| | Thanks to increased funding from the City of New London (2010-2011) and the James P. and Mary
E. Shea Perpetual Trust, Sunday hours will continue through the end of March.
Did you know that on Sundays, patrons borrow more books per hour than any other day of the week?
From a comment on our Facebook page from a library user :
With all the bad stuff going on the world, you just can't beat a seven-day-a-week library. And if you live downtown, why it's just up the street. No carbon foot or even a toe.
