Here's how you can stay connected and actively participate:

• You can view the Connecticut General Assembly's upcoming events by checking out its schedule on the CGA official website. 
• Follow CT-N for live coverage of committee meetings, as well as House and Senate floor debates. 
• You can register to monitor any bill's journey as it goes through the legislative process. By signing up, you can enter the bill number and receive real-time updates. Stay informed with email notifications whenever there's a change in the bill's progress. 
• Visit this website for information on how to testify on a bill at a public hearing.

Together, we can make a positive impact and ensure that our community's needs are represented. 

Let's get your kids in our wonderful libraries! Take Your Child to the Library Day will be held on Saturday, February 3. Your local library is an ideal place for children to play, discover, make friends, and have fun.

Ferguson Library is inviting toddlers and children through fifth grade to listen to an interactive concert. Orchestra Lumos and Music Together of Fairfield County will perform from 11:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. at the main library. Children will get to sing, dance, move, play, and enjoy live music while building literacy and social skills. Parents should plan to attend the concert with their children. No drop offs are allowed.

The Avon Theatre will play some of the best movies of 2023 on the big screen before the Oscars in March. This is the perfect opportunity to see some of the Best Picture nominees on the big screen!
