  • Cellar to Stellar!  

The Friends of the Library are embarking on an amibitous adventure--remodeling the Book Cellar.  Thousands of people each year vist this used book store located in the basement of the Library.  It features a wide variety of gently used books and sometimes other materials for friendly prices.  But being in the basement has its challenges, and it's time for an upgrade.  They are collecting designated funds to carry out this project.  Mail your donation to : Friends of the Hall Memorial Library, PO Box 280, Ellington, CT  06029, or stop in.  Every little bit will help!

Check out the article from the Journal Inquirer about this project here.
