This September, we’re celebrating everything that makes the library magical — and we want to hear from YOU! Whether it’s the books, the quiet spaces, the events, the people, or the memories, tell us why the library matters to you. You can share your story in whatever way feels right — a short video, a voice note, a letter, a drawing, or even a quick message. We’ll feature select submissions online, in the library, and on social media. |

THU, September 18 | 6:00 PM Farmington Library, 6 Monteith Drive Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports & broadsides is the often silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion and fabric consumption & creation drove the course of Revolution just as determinedly as any congress. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial) of the War for Independence, it is these local lives dressed in fulled wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity, resilience, and empathy in us today.
