Library Donations

   Honor your family and friends with a special gift by making a donation to the library in someone’s name.  We have forms available for you at the library or you may do the following:  On a separate piece of paper, place the name and phone number of the donor with the current date.  Make the check payable to New Fairfield Free Public Library.  Write in to whom you would like us to send a card with their address and a message.  Donations to the library are exempt under Federal Tax Code section 170 (b)(1)(A)(v) and (c)(1) as such donations are deemed charitable contributions to or for the use of a political subdivision.  The library is the principal Town Library.  Call 203-312-5679 with any questions you may have.
