‘There’s a Place for Everyone’: Local Teens Flock to New Library

By Samantha Haley | May 9, 2023

[Samantha Haley is a New Canaan High School sophomore.]

Many residents watched the construction of the “new” New Canaan Library in real time. Driving past the construction site on South Avenue this winter, New Canaanites watched as stone, glass and concrete morphed into the community’s beautiful new library, now a bustling destination for locals across generations. New Canaan teens say it was worth the wait. Asked about the new facility, which opened in February, New Canaan High School senior Kelci Haley said it’s “amazing.”

“I love all the open spaces and light and the atmosphere is really inviting,” Haley said. “I really love everything the library has to offer and all the uses it can have for people of all ages.” 

On the upper floor of the library is a large Teen Room, a space dedicated to teens with comfortable study booths, collaborative tables and teen books.
