Through resources, services, trainings, and physical items, the CT State Library is able to provide equity of access to library services for all Connecticut residents through the statewide network of academic, school, public, and special libraries. Below are just a few testimonials that make their way to us on the impact of a variety of programs and services from the CT State Library.
"I just wanted to let you know how much you program [CT LAB] means to Flora... Listening to these books brings her so much joy, every time she sees me she tells me about her most recent book, glowing with a smile from ear to ear."
"The way that your program is set up it made it very easy for us to get and return...books."
"Wow! Great job putting [the Yearly Wrap-Up] together. It was a great reminder of all the work DLD has Done and continues to do."
"Paula, couldn't be sure I expressed just how important I feel your work is for those of us with limited sight. At 94, with limited mobility and sight; you help me keep my mind active. Your work is so very important. I can't thank you enough."
"Your books are what helped her manage every day with something to look forward to, pass the time, enjoy, and learn."
"Many thanks for all the attention you gave my requests for special books for my mom. It meant so much to her to have a way to explore the world as her eyes failed her."
"GIANT Room made a big impact on our little library! Thinking like an artist, a scientist, and a technology wizard gave participants new perspectives and nurtured the outside-the-box thinking that often gets pushed aside for conventional thought. Caregivers were amazed by the ideas and creativity that poured our of their children and it was wonderful to see the multigenerational collaboration. WE LOVE GIANT ROOM!"
"Thank you so so so much! The overwhelming responses of how many librarians loved this presentation. I mean they LOVED it! And rightfully so, what an amazing workshop. Thank you so much again for all you do!"
"As word has spread through the facility of the additions to our collection, we have seen an uptick for users to the library. In the past, we were seeing an average of four to five checked out daily. We are now averaging fourteen plus check outs daily."
"We enlisted the help of the resource librarians at the Middletown Library Service Center to enrich our unit on Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The Service Center compiled a list of 100 picture books that fit our inquiry lesson. Without telling students what the collection of books had in common, we invited them to read old favorites or new-to-them stories. When we revealed that all of them had been challenged or banned in Connecticut within the previous 2 years, students were shocked--and highly engaged. It brought home the continued relevance of Bradbury's warnings about censorship."
