Troy's Library is among the busiest in Cheshire County, with over 11,500 patron visits annually.
A library has existed in Troy since 1825 -- only ten years after the Town was founded -- and the community has showed its support ever since. A dedicated library building was constructed in 1952 and enlarged in 1972. In 1999 the Library was again renovated and expanded to provide 5,000 square feet on three levels, all fully accessible by an elevator.
About half of the Town's 2,100 citizens hold a library card and many others are browsers and information seekers. The library's meeting room is in high demand -- various local groups utilized it about 130 times during 2001. Story & craft time, a book discussion group, holiday parties, and the summer reading program are regular favorites. Last year the library sponsored 78 events for children and 19 events for adults.
