The Litchfield Library Foundation board and library staff, plus friends and family, walked in the 2025 Litchfield Watercade parade! They handed out the newly designed bookmarks with the winning artwork by Brooke Johnson from the foundation’s contest, plus free books for kids.

The books were funded by the Friends of the Litchfield Library, with help from the Litchfield Library Foundation and a Thrivent grant. Over 1600 kids received books! Thank you to the Friends, the Foundation, and Thrivent for this service to the community.
