The Wilton Public Library has many things to be thankful for this year. Thank you to our programming partners, American Legion Post 508 and Wilton Wood Turtle Days; to Kim Nofsinger and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church for our “Greater Tuna” dinner-theatre fundraiser; to our teen volunteers, Molly and Dillon; and to those patrons who have donated time, money and materials. And we are especially thankful for funding provided by the Village of Wilton, Monroe County, and the Town of Sheldon and the Town of Wellington. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
