Meet Andrew, our local history intern! Andrew helps digitize the archives in our Burlington Room by scanning photos into the archives. Andrew’s favorite genre of book is fantasy. His hobbies are amateur nature photography, programming and video games. While it was very difficult to pick, Andrew’s favorite animal is a crow. If he could pick one place to visit, it would be somewhere with a lot of nature like the Galapagos. One thing Andrew has always wanted to do is work with animals. Andrew loves libraries because depending on your mood they could help you learn or just have a good time. Check out Andrew’s work by visiting our Historic Image Library at burlingtonctlibrary.omeka.net/

While pearls are optional 😉, we invite you to join us for a literary presentation centered on the humorous, thought-provoking words of the late Carol Ruggiero, a prolific local writer from Milford, Connecticut. Carol was a part of a local writer’s group for 20 years, penning her observations, experiences, and ideas whenever inspiration struck. After her passing in October of 2020, her loving husband, Albert, compiled her collection of essays into a book, “Pearls from Carol.”
