Sharing the Spirit of America: A Nationwide Reading of The Declaration of Independence

Make history with The Westport Library as we take part in the nationwide reading of the Declaration of Independence on Wednesday, July 8, in celebration of the founding document's 250th anniversary. Hear the words that changed the world — not as a relic, but as a living declaration that still resonates across generations. The event includes a community reading, a craft for kids, and a gift of a copy of the Declaration to all Connecticut towns, emphasizing civic community and American history.
