Financial Support Traditionally, the Wilton Library has received between 75 and 78 percent of its operating budget from the Town of Wilton. The remaining component of the budget is raised by an annual membership campaign operated by the Trustees and rental income from materials and space and annual Book Sale. The remaining 6,500 items include music CDs and LP records, adult and junior audio books, videos and over 100 non-circulating magazines. We always try to enhance our service to the public. New services include 24 CD-ROMs for reference purposes in the Junior Services Department.
More attention is paid to the quality of the business reference collection.
Professional librarians meet regularly with members of the Business Advisory Council to determine how best to serve business. The Library is producing a directory of all Wilton businesses to respond to information needs of prospective employers and employees. Wilton Bulletin Obituary Index - a comprehensive index covering all obituaries that have appeard in the Bulletin . Wilton Community Organizations - a comprehensive listing of organizations serving diverse segments of Wilton's population. A new, more user-friendly computer catalog system for the public was selected after 18 months of research and deliberation.
