• Multiple Library Programs
• Summer Reading Book Discussions
• Film Programs
• Cultural Celebrations
• Capital Projects
• Pilot Programs
• Library Collection Additions
• Library Staff Development and Scholarships
In addition, we operate the following directly:
• Operate two award-winning Used Book Shops
• Special Literary Events

• Book and Author Luncheons
• Author Events
• Distribute free books to local schools and agencies, prisons, courts and overseas programs through our Friend-to-Friend Free Book Program
• Provide a free first book to every baby born at Stamford Hospital through our Books-for-Babies Program
History:
Our organization has grown from a small cheer-leading committee to an award-winning and beloved community institution. We are all-volunteer but run as a professional organization. At this time,our working Board has about 20 members and our Used Book Shops have about 100 volunteers. In 2007, we completed the transition to an all online data-managed and communicated agency.
