Ellington Farman Library

Our 100th Anniversary of serving the community of Ellington was celebrated on Saturday August 16. We had a program, speakers, an art restoration to unveil and a collaborative community art project to present. A wonderful crowd attended to help us celebrate. We enjoyed giving tours of our beautiful building and reacquainting folks who haven’t been here in a few years with all the services our library has to offer. Thank you to all who attended and for all the well wishes that came our way. Here’s to the next 100 years!

The Ellington Farman Library July calendar was jam packed with programs and events for all ages. August will be a slightly less crowded schedule but still offering something for everyone.  Our big, once in a hundred years event, is the 100th Anniversary Celebration of our library on Saturday, August 16th. We are open from 10:30am – 1pm with a program starting at 11am. There are a few notable speakers, two art projects to unveil and then refreshments with an invitation to explore our library if you have not been here in some time. We invite everyone to be a part of the celebration!
