T-9: Countdown to Opening Weekend

Mark your calendars for Friday, May 9th, the start of Opening Weekend for the new Ridgefield Library. The community dedication ceremony will kick off a full weekend of activities and celebrations including a volunteer-manned Book Brigade that will transfer the remaining few volumes from their temporary location over to the new library.

The Fence Is Coming Down!

The fence around the construction site at 472 Main Street is being removed today!  The job trailer will be removed in a day or two (construction office will move into the building for the duration of the work).  This means final landscaping can be done (after this week's snow!) and the site can be cleaned up and made ready for Opening Weekend. 

There are lots of last details being attended to inside the building as we work our way through myriad inspections and approvals, so the site remains off limits to the general public for now.  Please restrain your curiosity!  There will be plenty of opportunities for tours on Opening Weekend and in the weeks afterwards.

Library service will continue to be available at our 21 Governor Street location until further notice.
