LIBRARY CLOSED ON GOOD FRIDAY

Because Good Friday is a legal holiday in Connecticut we will be closed on Friday, March 29.  We will be open as usual (10-5) on Saturday.  We hope that everyone who celebrates Easter has a wonderful holiday and that all of our friends have a safe and happy weekend!

Fay Taylor, Author of "Steel"

STEEL is the inspiring memoir of a woman whose faith and courage have helped her to remain as strong as steel while fighting back from severe spinal cord injuries. Author Fay Taylor will discuss STEEL at the Windsor Locks Public Library, on Tuesday April 9 at 6:30 PM. Her story is one of triumph over adversity, of a tragic fall from a horse in 1989 that resulted in a broken back and a changed life. Her story will be an inspiration to all who live with or care for someone with spinal cord injuries. Join us to meet Fay Taylor and hear, in her own words, the story of her rollercoaster ride from the depths of despair to triumphant heights and back again.
