Want to know what’s happening at the Library each week? Sign up for our e-news!
The Westport Library has officially launched its 2025-26 annual appeal, its yearly fundraising campaign, with the goal of raising $335,000 to secure full funding for the Library’s operations and allow us to continue to provide the vast majority of our programming for free or at low cost.
The Common Ground Initiative is the Library’s forum for public discourse on topical issues of importance to the community. The aim of the initiative is to host a positive, productive conversation on how we work together to move forward as a civil society; encourage respectful, constructive dialogue; and build capacity to tackle challenging and/or controversial issues.
