Letter: Tour at ‘Mirror House’ Changes Mind on Library Rebuilding Project

Dear Editor,

Some of my earliest childhood memories took place at the New Canaan Library. I adored attending the Teddy Bear Picnic on the front lawn (with my bear who proudly took home the Smallest Bear award), and spending hours browsing books in the Children’s Rooms.

When I learned of the plans to demolish the library, I was devastated. I couldn’t believe our town would allow a historical building to be knocked down and replaced with something new and flashy. I voiced my concerns and was encouraged to make an appointment at the Mirror House to learn about the project. I was skeptical that my mind could be changed, but the tour at the Mirror House proved me wrong.
