In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first appearance of this beloved character, independent bookstores across the country, including our own Books on the Common, are hosting a contest. Pick up a search list at the bookstore or the Chamber of Commerce and see how many places you can find the famous fellow in the striped shirt. Collect cards at each spot to win great Waldo prizes!

Buy a Brick!
|
 You can take home a little piece of the Ridgefield Library once construction starts and a large part of the building is demolished. For just $10 you can purchase an authentic brick from the current Library as a keepsake. They make a great bookend, paperweight or doorstop. Reserve your bricks now at the Circulation Desk or purchase online, and we will contact you when bricks are ready for pick up. |

We are collecting people's stories about the Ridgefield Library and what it has meant to them and their families over the years. We have started a Memory Book, which can be found near the Circulation Desk. Stop by to add your reminiscences on paper, or send them to us by email. We will be sharing them on our website soon, along with videotaped testimonials folks made at the June 2nd Community Open House.
