Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library is the hidden gem of Branford in its secluded Thimble Island Road location and is a perfect spot for browsing, reading quietly or surfing the web. In addition to taking out books and media, library card holders can reserve museum passes, apply for a U.S. passport and use the notary service on site. It also contains the Keyes Art Gallery, which features monthly juried art exhibits.

Re: the pig party event
It has come to our attention that there were many details not made aware to us when the presenter was booked. In the meantime, the promotion post (on the library's FB account) has been deleted while we gather more information and determine next steps. If anyone has comments or concerns, please contact me directly at jsullivan at branford-ct dot gov
Thank you for your patience.
