With great pleasure and admiration,we dedicate our 2005-2006 Annual Report to Malcolm S. Whyte Chairman of the Building Committee for the Expansion of the Wilton Library Letter from the President and Director Brubeck Room and in the “avenues” that converge at our Circulation Desk; Dear Friends, This past year was a banner year for the Library. Construction was completed in the spring and the formal dedication was held at the Annual Meeting in June, celebrated by State and Town dignitaries, the Board and many friends. Throughout the spring, we heard effusive, grateful compliments from patrons young and old: everyone who walked through the Library’s doors was amazed at the new spaces and excited about the new capabilities. We acknowledged the tremendous effort made by so many — both in dollars contributed and in hours of volunteer service — to make it all happen. But no one spent more time in leading and overseeing the project than our Building Committee Chairman, Malcolm Whyte . . . and this is why our Annual Report this year is dedicated to him and his generous, optimistic spirit. collections (print and electronic) that are infinitely more attractive and accessible to borrowers, users and browsers of all ages in their new setting where carrels, comfortable seating, up-to-date workstations and better lighted and labeled shelving all contribute to increased usage; areas where lovers of poetry, literature and the cultures of other lands can attend far more programs than ever before were possible; a place where speakers of other languages can find materials, software and classes to help them learn and improve English skills; assistive technology that is available for young patrons with disabilities who might otherwise not be able to easily use our computers; The Library, forever changed by its expanded structure, has become the vibrant center of the Center — where everyone goes, where everyone meets, where everyone continues to expand horizons. Libraries are not just about books anymore . . . they are about transforming communities. And the Wilton Library is about strengthening and transforming our community to be the best it can be. a drive-up window that provides instant access for the elderly, for parents with young children, and for those who are simply too busy to browse; . . . and so much more. This first year of the Library’s expansion has set our sights for the future — we certainly can make a difference in the lives of those we serve and the possibilities are thrilling. It will be up to all of us to maximize the return on the huge investment the community has made by using this amazing resource to its fullest potential. We are proud to present this annual report not only as a record of the year just passed, but also as a sign of all that is to come. Wilton Library’s “community” is, of course, more than simply the sum of all our individual constituents. Our community has character all its own, creates an environment and a quality of life that allows residents and employees to exchange, to learn, and to grow. Within our new spaces we can impact both the community as a whole and those who live and work here in more ways than ever before . . . inspiring, challenging and changing lives for the better. We now can offer: creative crafts that teach kids about recycling and conservation are available throughout the week on a “drop-in” basis for busy moms in the new Craft Room; a separate, spacious Story Room to inspire our youngest listeners and readers with a lifelong passion for books; Katharine H. Welling, President Wilton Library Association walls that are a canvas for murals designed and executed by teens in their own special space; meeting rooms that have been used hundreds of times already by businesses and organizations; Kathy Leeds Wilton Library Director concerts and lectures and demonstrations for large audiences that have found a home in our wonderfully designed 2 B o a r d o f Tr u st e e s 2 0 0 5 - 2 0 0 6 The Board of Trustees is made up of 24 members, six of whom are appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
