Thanks to a TSET Healthy Incentive Grant, Lindsay Public Schools received funds to renovate their walking trail. The upgraded trail now provides a safe, inclusive outdoor space where students, staff and community members can engage in physical activity, support wellness and build social connections. This project enhances access to shared natural spaces and encourages a healthier, more active lifestyle for all.

Congratulations to Lindsay Public Schools and thank you for your commitment to creating healthier environments for students and the broader community to thrive.

We're excited to welcome you to the library during our new public hours. We know these hours may feel a little different, so we'd like to share the reason behind the change.
Since 1985, our library has proudly served both the Town of Stratford and our Stratford PK-12 School System. In recent years, situations have made us carefully consider whether it was safe to have public visitors and school classes in the library at the same time.
After much thought and discussion, we (your library staff) advocated for separate hours during the school year. This decision was made with one priority in mind: the safety of our children.
Our town leadership, school administration, and library board all support this step, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to serve both our community and our school.
We look forward to seeing you during our public hours - thank you for your ongoing support!
