Stratford Library

<p>The Stratford Library Association, organized in 1885, oversaw the construction of the town's first permanent library, which opened in 1896. In 1955, a large addition to house the children's department and reference room opened. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the library's size was expanded by nearly threefold. In 1994, a new community room was dedicated. The library offers a variety of services including the circulation of books, magazines, periodicals, movies and music. There are substantial research materials and other services available to residents and visitors, and the library hosts many meetings and events through the year.</p> <p>Contact the following departments for specific information:</p> <p><strong>Circulation</strong>: 203-385-4160<br><strong>Adult Services</strong>: 203-385-4164<br><strong>Children's Dept</strong>: 203-385-4165<br><strong>Teen Services</strong>: 203-385-4167<br><strong>Administration</strong>: 203-385-4166<br><strong>Programs/Room reservations</strong>: 203-385-4162<br><strong>Events and Programming</strong>: Tom Holehan, 203-385-4162</p> <p></p>
