Have you seen the newest temporary exhibit at the Woolworth Library? Reminisce about your own school days as you peruse photographs, yearbooks, school papers, homework assignments, samplers and more to learn about the many schools in town. Have memories to share? We encourage anyone with memories of Stonington schools to reach out and talk to us! The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular Woolworth Library hours through November 26th.

Don’t forget to join us after work tomorrow night with Yale University professor Langdon Hammer, as he explores how and why James Merrill and David Jackson made Stonington their home, who signed the guest book (and who didn’t), and what their queer life together was like. The title of this talk refers to a remark in James Merrill’s memoir: “As in the classic account of Sarah Bernhardt descending a spiral staircase–she stood still and it revolved around her–my good fortune was to stay in one place while the closet simply disintegrated.” This event is free and open to the public.

In honor of all those who lost their lives in the attacks on September 11, 2001, we will never forget.

In honor of Josh Piver, Stonington High School Class of 1996, who died in the North Tower, we will never forget.

In honor of all of the first responders, who have since faced serious health problems as a result of their rescue efforts, we will never forget.

In honor of all Americans whose life was changed that day, we will never forget.
