Outreach

Bookmobile

The Bookmobile is the library’s traveling branch, visiting pre-schools, community centers and neighborhoods where the library does not have a presence. The Bookmobile often participates in community events and with grant funding has been able to bring library services to Stamford parks on summer weekends.

The Ferguson’s beloved Purple Bus brings school children to the library, some for the very first time. The Purple Bus program is funded by the Friends of The Ferguson Library.
