Trumbull Historical Society Presents: Revolutionary Connecticut Through the Eyes of Ordinary People Monday, July 13th from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. What did the American Revolution mean to the people of Connecticut? This new presentation will draw from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s rich collection of artifacts and documents to tell the revolutionary story through the eyes of ordinary people.

Silent Book Club Thursday, July 16th from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Do you have trouble making time to read? Is your home full of distractions?

Unlike a traditional book club, there are no assigned readings and no deadlines. Bring a book of your own choosing, or pick out a new one at the library, and we’ll have an hour of silent reading time together. Weather permitting, the July 16th meeting of Silent Book Club will be at the town Gazebo, located between the library building and Town Hall. Register here.
