News & Events

Note: During the construction of the New Ridgefield Library we will continue to offer a wide mix of educational and cultural programs.  These will take place both in our interim location and, thanks to the many local organizations that have offered to partner with the Library during this transition period, out and about in our community.  Although some programs such as the Hollister Film series will not continue during construction, many more will go on as before, including book discussions, lectures, talks, live music and more. Stay tuned!  Many programs will take place in the Program Room at our temporary location at 21 Governor Street in Ridgefield.
