A Novel Affair

A Novel Affair 2024 is April 11!

We are delighted to honor Steven Frederick and the law firm of Wofsey, Rosen, Kweskin & Kuriansky for their service to the library and the Stamford community. 

A Novel Affair is our major fundraiser, and the dollars raised go to support vital programs and services, such as job skills training, English language learning, children's early literacy programs and more.

Tickets go on sale in February.
