The Twice REaD Room
Needs a New Name!
 
The Twice REaD Room (TRR) at Main needs a new name, and we need your help to create one.
 
Run by The Friends of Fairfield Public Library, the Room—tucked behind the Ambassador’s Desk at Main Library on the first floor— primarily houses gently-used books for resale to the public.  Sales go to support Library programs and services.  However, as the Room’s offerings have grown to include DVDs, CDS, computer games, LPs, and even reel-to-reel tapes, TRR needs a more inclusive name—and that’s where you, our patrons, come in.
 
Please give us your suggestions for a new name for the Twice-REaD room—something fun, creative, and descriptive of the varieties of gently-used media for sale and/or the Friends’ mission to support the Library.  Write your suggestion on a piece of paper, along with your name and email address, and submit it to The Ambassador’s Desk at Main Library by November 1.  The winning entry will be chosen by December 1 and the winner will receive $25 in credit to use at our ongoing sale!

The 2026 midterm elections take place on Tuesday, November 3, and there’s a lot at stake.
 
Our friends at WSHU Public Radio have created a comprehensive online Elections Guide, great for both new and seasoned voters. 
 
You’ll find:
  • A curated selection of videos covering topics such as “how do I register to vote?” and “what's on the ballot?”
     
  • Continually updated national and regional coverage before, during and after the election
     
  • Interactive maps available
