Did you know that Washington Irving may have based his famous "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" on a Farmington Valley folk tale? Come join us at the Farmington Library on Thursday, October 29 as local author Kara LaBella shows us the evidence for this theory, offering glimpses of the real-life locations, as well as Revolutionary War-era history of our region.

Attempt to solve the mystery of The French Paymaster, meeting LaBella's cast of characters along the way, including General Philip Schuyler, friend to George Washington, and Vicomte Charles Dumas, officer of Rochambeau, along with actual citizens of colonial Canton's community. Come to your own conclusions over the course of this engaging evening!

Mark your calendar for all our Spooky Season Events at The Farmington Libraries!

Thursday, October 22 at 6:00 PM explore the growing evidence that many of the phenomena we label as UFOs, UAPs, and cryptids—especially Bigfoot—may not be purely physical beings, but visitors moving in and out of our reality from other dimensions.

Engaging, thought-provoking, and rooted in Ronny LeBlanc’s unique blend of research and storytelling, INTERDIMENSIONAL invites audiences to rethink the boundaries of reality itself.

The Laptop ConneCT Program is a statewide initiative administered by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in partnership with the Connecticut State Library that complements Connecticut’s broadband investments by making laptops available for loan and on-site use through participating public libraries for eligible Connecticut residents.

Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act Capital Projects Fund, Laptop ConneCT helps ensure residents have the tools they need to get online and use digital services. By combining device access with library-based support, the program aims to expand digital opportunity and connect more people to education, employment, and essential resources.

Who is eligible for the Laptop ConneCT Program?

To receive a laptop loan, residents must meet the following criteria:
• Be at least 18 years old;
• Have a valid library card from the same municipality as the distributing library;
• Participate in a qualifying state or federal assistance program, such as SNAP, CEAP/LIHEAP, Medicare, or HUSKY Health; and
• Not have access to a comparable device at home.

An adult may receive a device on behalf of a minor in their household.
