About Long Ridge Library
Location :
191 Long Ridge Road, DANBURY, CT 06810, US
Mission Statement
The Long Ridge Library, located at 191 Long Ridge Road, was established in 1919 for the members of the Long Ridge Women’s Club. A few years later, the library moved to its current building, a former one-room schoolhouse on Long Ridge Road. The New York Public Library, as well as local families, donated books to the initial collection. Today, contemporary books sit next to old volumes on the shelves, making it a fascinating treasure trove. The library will soon be celebrating its 105th anniversary and serves over 500 families in the area : lending books, running book clubs, and hosting community events. As a public library, their services are free to residents of Danbury, Ridgefield, Redding, and Bethel. It is staffed by a group of dedicated volunteers, most notably, Barbara Fulton, head librarian for over 40 years.
