To the Editor:
Trumbull Library has successfully implemented six One Book One Town programs based on the concept of an entire community coming together to discuss issues and enjoy program around a chosen book. The 2015 theme, “The Food We Eat” was based on “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life” by Barbara Kingsolver and local businesses, individuals and organizations donated resources, time and talents to create a truly magnificent series of interesting programs. On behalf of the Library Board of Trustees and myself I want to thank everyone who was involved this year.
