Killingworth Library Thanks Chalk Art Content Sponsors; Open for In-Person Browsing

Submitted by Genie Dethloff, Killingworth Library.

Chalk Art Contest

(August 12, 2020)The Killingworth Library’s sidewalks briefly bloomed with color during July’s sidewalk chalk art contest. 12 squares were decorated by 14 artists ranging from toddlers to young adults, each one special and unique and beautiful to behold.  The rains have washed them away, but each image was photographed and will be preserved digitally; right now you can enjoy them on the library’s Website and Facebook pages.  Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, each participant will be receiving a gift, with additional prizes drawn at random, as well as a prize for the submission receiving the most “likes” on the Library’s Facebook Page. Our heartfelt thanks to the following for making this all possible:

  • Andies Cookies
  • Arbor Gardens
  • The Bread Girl
  • Chatfield Hollow Bed & Breakfast Inc.
  • CT Access Remodeling
  • Down the Lane Farm
  • Killingworth Pharmacy
  • MJM Self Storage of Clinton LLC
  • New England Alpacas
  • Stone & Brick
  • The Sweet Baker
  • Townsend Builders, Inc

Killingworth Library Open for Browsing by Appointment

The library opened in August for in person browsing and computer use by appointment. After working hard to meet safety protocols, we were able to open the main room. The children’s room, conference room, and restrooms will remain closed to the public for the foreseeable future.

It had been such a long time since we saw any patrons in person and we are glad to be able to do that now, even if on a limited basis. This is a different way of operating for sure, but our patrons seem to be happily adapting so far.
