Westminster Makes Anniversary Gift to Simsbury Public Library
As a part of the community outreach efforts of Westminster’s yearlong 125th anniversary celebration, the school has donated funds to the Simsbury Public Library to purchase 125 books for its teen collection.

Books added to the collection include fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, classics, and audio and e-books. A list of the titles appears on the Simsbury Public Library’s Web site. The books are being displayed together in the library for one year and thereafter will be interfiled with the library’s Young Adult collection. A bookplate in each book designates it as a gift to the community on the occasion of Westminster’s 125th anniversary. Reviews of the individual books are also running in the library’s electronic newsletter.
The Westminster gift was recognized by the Town of Simsbury at its Board of Selectmen meeting Jan. 14, at which time members of the library’s board of trustees presented Headmaster Bill Philip with a plaque of appreciation. Library Director Sue Bullock also thanked Westminster for its generosity and described how the gift “has made a huge difference in reading materials for the kids.”
“Community is one of our school’s core values and providing the opportunity for the Simsbury Public Library to expand its teen reading program is a perfect way for us to express our support for young adult education and to give back to the Simsbury community, which has been an integral part of our school’s long history,” said Headmaster Philip in accepting the plaque at the meeting.
