Kristin Ercoli

CFLC Library Services Specialist

Miss Kristin is proud resident of Torrington, and has been so for many years. She has found her dream job being part of the CFLC Library team! She has five children currently enrolled in the Torrington Public School district and enjoys being able to spotlight the many accomplishments that go on every day in the schools. She is an avid reader and can often be found taking her “work” home with her. Before being a mom, she worked for two different bookstore chains. She is an avid jigsaw puzzler, and in the warm months can be found kayaking at her favorite spots in town. She loves reading books to children, sharing her enthusiasm and inspiring imagination! She just started to learn Spanish and hopes to be able to communicate better with the many families in the community. She loves spending time with her family, and you will often find her enjoying the many fairs and community events happening in Torrington! If you stop in to the library, don’t hesitate to ask her to recommend one of her favorite books. She might even read it to you!
