Westport, CT– The Westport Library is pleased to announce that the fully renovated Children’s Library will be named the Roz and Bud Siegel Family Children’s Library in honor of the Siegel’s generous gift toward the Library’s Transformation Project.
“The extraordinary generosity demonstrated by Roz and Bud’s leadership gift is a testament to their long-standing commitment to the Library, and vision for the future of Westport. We are deeply grateful for their support,” said Executive Director of the Westport Library Bill Harmer. “Their gift will allow us to build a completely reimagined children’s space - flexible and fun – filled with new books, toys, and furniture that will provide our youngest patrons with a space ideally suited to reading, studying, learning, playing and growing.”
When complete in 2019, the Roz and Bud Siegel Family Children’s Library will boast many improvements including: an enhanced program room, visible activity areas that enjoy views of the Saugatuck River and the Jesup Green, a raised ceiling, improved acoustics, new lighting systems, and enhancements of some of the windows- making them floor-to-ceiling – to provide even greater views of the Library’s beautiful natural surroundings.
