More About Family Fun

Join Pequot Library for its many annual family events! A sweet Valentine Candy Making Workshop in February gives young children an opportunity to make chocolates, decorate boxes and create a Valentine’s Day card for someone special.

Each June, we kick off the start of summer with our Miss Susan’s Summer Supper and Campout. Families set up tents on the Great Lawn and enjoy live music and games such as spinnaker. They can even spend the night under the stars for a special sleepover.
Celebrate the founding of our nation with the annual Pequot Library 4th of July Bike Parade. Bring your festively decorated bike, scooter, or wagon to Five Corners in Southport Village and parade to the Great Lawn for some fun and games, including face-painting, sack races, hula hoop contest, and crafts. Check out the library’s calendar and discover some family fun.

More About Pequot Library

A Cultural Beacon
Pequot Library was founded in 1889 by Southport, CT residents Virginia Marquand Monroe (1837 – 1926) and Elbert B. Monroe (1836 – 1894). The Library building, designed by noted American architect Robert H. Robertson, opened to the public in March 1894. It was Mrs. Monroe’s intention that Pequot be as “free as air to all.”

Pequot Library is a destination library listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For over seven generations, Pequot Library has been a cultural beacon of Fairfield County, providing traditional library services and diverse programming to our local and regional community. We help children develop a lifelong interest in reading and learning through engaging programs and special activities. Our robust calendar of events includes musical performances, exhibitions, lectures, and a wide range of cultural, educational, and community events. We integrate our Special Collections of rare books, manuscripts, and archives into our day-to-day services to the community through exhibitions, programs, and hands-on classes and workshops.
