New!: Craft and Homework Area

This new set of table and chairs and shelves was installed in the Children's Room to create a space for children to work on projects, play games, use school issued laptops or do other projects. The shelves above the table will be a showcase for child-made artwork and projects made at the Thomaston Library, as part of the Community Displays project. The sturdy table and shelves were built and installed by local contractor David Hynd.



Funding for this project was generously provided by the Davis Family Foundation and the Friends of the Thomaston Public Library. We hope you and your family will stop by soon to try out the new space!
