Other Organizations

The following is a list of Other Organizations which are active in the Town of Wolcott:

 Friends of the Wolcott Public Library

The Friends help to expand the Wolcott Library's offerings. The museum pass program allows citizens with a library card to visit a broad range of attractions. The Friends also provide materials for the Books for Babies program.

In addition to books, CDs, and computer supplies, we have made major purchases for the children's room, storage and display cabinets, furniture, the murals on the walls of the meeting rooms and the large media return box.

Funding depends upon three book sales a year as well as membership dues and donations. Meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of most months at 12:30PM. For more info, call the library at (203) 879-8110.
