John Lee Clark makes us aware of what it's like to "see" the world through his gift as a DeafBlind poet. John is an active spokesperson for his community. He works for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development as a Braille and Proctactile Instructor, and he is an advocate for jobs for disabled people. He has a happy family life with his wife and three sons.

As a promoter of Protactile Language, he reminds one of how Helen Keller was taught to learn words by touch - feel the water running through her fingers in order to know the word water. Protactile Language is the opposite of Sign Language. The former is rooted in contact space as it is explained. John says, "We feel language! Areas of the body are touched to express our feelings." We will explore his experiences through his poems.

Active 1 and 2 year-olds and their caregivers are invited to join us for a storytime especially geared for them!  The program includes books, songs, rhymes, movement activities, and instruments or scarves, all geared towards building literacy skills. 

Please join us for Ask Me Anything, 2024, a community forum on "Understanding the Transgender and Non-binary Identity" cosponsored by Wilton Library and Wilton Pride, on May 15, at 7 p.m., in the library's Brubeck Room.

The Wilton Land Conservation Trust, Wilton Library, and Wilton Go Green have come together to offer a unique and immersive book reading experience for toddlers and preschoolers. Together, we've created an opportunity for families to venture outside, explore nature, listen to stories, and make an upcycled craft. 

Parents and Caregivers with young children are invited to visit the library for an opportunity to spend some time in our story room to socialize and play.  Meet new friends and neighbors and let your children play with some early learning toys.  No registration required. 

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness month children ages 3-6, and their caregivers, are invited to explore their emotions through the use of story. This interactive program will also include songs, movement, and special props to support feelings of calm and promote a positive mindset! No registration required. 

Please join us for the next CT Poetry Society workshop at the library. All that is required is the willingness to share some poetry that you have written by reading it aloud to the group. Poets should email a copy of their poems to Ed Ahern at salmonier@aol.com. He will distribute the poems to the group shortly before the session. To facilitate discussion, space is strictly limited to just 15 attendees.
 
No charge but online registration is required. Register online or call 203-762-6334.
