While the Town of Stratford pays a generous portion of the Library’s operating expenses, the Stratford Library Association depends on support from caring individuals like you to help fund collections, job search resources, cultural events, children’s programs, technology and maker services, and so much more. Your gift helps keep these vital services FREE for all Stratford residents.
