Welcome to the Writers’ Library
Librarians and writers have always shared a special relationship. We see writers working away at tables quietly. We find them wonderful resources. We help to connect them with mentors to help them with the writing process. And we celebrate their successes with author talks and book launches.
The Fairfield Public Library has a variety of services we offer writers. We have a beautiful “Writers Room” where writers can gather and discuss their works and/or write together. All you need to do is reserve the room by calling the Main Library Reference Desk 203-256-3160 and then leave a piece of identification with the desk while you use the room.
New! Poetry Group
“The Poets’ Salon” meets the second Saturday of each month, from 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. Attendance is open, with the first eight or so attendees who sign up having the chance to read a poem and have it critiqued. The group will also discuss upcoming poetry readings and publication possibilities. For more information, please email Ed Ahern at snivelingscribbler@gmail.com.
