The third-annual Wilton Public Library winter writing contest is also now underway! This contest is open to all ages and all levels of experience. Write about winter anyway you like in 500 words or less.  Submit entries in duplicate by Wednesday, Feb. 9.  The Wilton Writers Group will judge all entries. The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.  All remaining entries will be entered in a drawing for a gift basket. Interesting writing prompts include but are not limited to the following: most memorable Christmas gift, wintering (how one spends the winter), winter pastimes, or memorable moments.

The Wilton Public Library is hiring a library substitute to work on an as-needed basis, often with short notice, to cover library hours if regular library staff are unable to. This position will pay $12 per hour and will cover basic library functions: front-desk circulation, shelving, assisting library users, answering phone, copy services, and opening and closing of library if needed. Applicants must work well independently and with others, be reliable and organized, maintain confidentiality, and possess customer-service skills as well as computer skills. Candidates must be available to work flexible hours, including evenings and some Saturday mornings, as well as up to 30 hours per week if needed. The position will remain open until filled. If interested, please submit a resume to wiltonlibrary@wrlsweb.org. 

♦︎ ♦︎ ♦︎

Warm winter wear is available this winter in the Wilton Community Center hallway outside the library and village office. Please take what you can use and spread the word. All are welcome!
