Holiday TeaTime & Letterwriting....

When was the last time you wrote a letter to a friend, sealed the envelope and posted it?  When was the last time you received a letter?

Come enjoy a cup of hot tea and a cookie or two and write a letter or two... choose from a selection of writing paper, fountain pens, sealing wax... and the postage is on us... 

Holiday TeaTime and Letter Writing (to friends, family, & Santa) on Tuesdays at 2 pm at the Rowayton Library (with cookies including nut-free cookies from SkeeterTreats.com.)  No need for a reservation.  For more information, please call the Library at (203) 838-5038.

Rowayton Holiday Shopping in Support of Local Non-Profits

If you are looking for “Rowayton” gifts for this holiday season, the Rowayton Library is a great place to find… Rowayton postcards, calendars, books and DVDs on Rowayton history, Rowayton Library umbrellas and mugs, books and music CDs by Rowaytonites, a wonderful jigsaw puzzle of Jim Flora’s Map of Rowayton, and much, much more.  And all purchases benefit local non-profits (Rowayton Historical Society, the Rowayton Civic Association, the Rowayton Gardeners, and your Rowayton Library).

Choosing the Idea(l) gift...

It's amazing how many gifts I want to purchase... this one is just right for mom, or best friend, or son, or aunt. But then I have to decide which is the best model of that gift, the best bang for the dollar, the one that will last, the one that everyone is raving about. Of course I can read the reviews online from this blog or store, but can I really be sure.

My librarian training sends me right to the library... but who has time to go to the library while shopping? So many libraries now offer Consumer Reports online to their patrons and all you need is access to the Internet (which everyone has) and a library card (which everyone SHOULD!) Because we all believe in CONSUMER REPORTS and we all SHOULD believe in libraries... and they are both FREE at most libraries.

For Rowayton Library users, go to http://consumer.rowayton.org, put in your library card and off you go... making informed decisions... on the go.
