Aaron Cutler Memorial Library

Aaron Cutler Memorial Library is the recipient of $1,953 in grant funding thanks to federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the New Hampshire State Library. The grant funds received will support the Aaron Cutler Memorial Library’s efforts to bring the Litchfield community back together after the trials of this past year for the Tails and Tales Summer Reading Challenge and lessen summer learning loss.  

Using these grant funds, the library will rent an event tent to house all Summer Reading activities, purchase portable tables to be used under the tent, book a second session of the always popular Wildlife Encounters live animal program to allow for social distancing, and purchase child size yoga mats for summer yoga.
