Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) is an international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library. Launched in 2011 in Connecticut by librarians Nadine Lipman (Waterford Public Library, retired) and Caitlin Augusta (Stratford Library) with artist Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, TYCLD raises community awareness about the importance of the library in the life of a child, and promotes library services and programs for children and families.

Join the Rowayton Library in celebrating the 12th anniversary of this day on Saturday, February 4th, 2023! Stop by the Rowayton Library and Rowayton Community Center with your child or children to enjoy fun activities, hourly story times with our trustees, featured book displays, snacks, and lots more library fun!

And...find out what our new library mascot will be!

Don't forget to vote here for your favorite candidate!

Story times and related activities will take place at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. and each will feature one of our library mascot candidates—a dragon, a lion, a moose, and a mouse!
