Simply Ledyard CT

  Know Your Town is a 7 week program designed to provide the residents and businesses of Ledyard insight into the history and governmental process of the town and introduce the employees and volunteers who make it work.

We also hope this will pique your interest to learn more about local government and possibly join one of the town’s boards and commissions. Department personnel will provide information about their department including some of the online tools now available. The sessions will be held at several different locations throughout the town on Thursday evenings from 7 – 9 pm starting September 20th.

Space is limited and registration is required. Call Bill Library at (860-464-9912) to register. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of Ledyard Libraries.  Attendance at all Know Your Town sessions is recommended:
