Support the Library
The Bill Memorial Library was given by Frederic Bill to the people of Groton in 1890 in memory of his sisters, Eliza and Harriet. The mission of the library is to meet the needs of the community in a welcoming and unique historic setting by stimulating imagination, providing the resources for lifelong learning, inspiring young patrons, and connecting to the online world.
The Bill Memorial Library is a 501(c)3 nonprofit library that relies heavily on private funding sources to maintain services and programs. All gifts are tax-deductible. Memorial and Celebration gifts may be made in memory or honor of a special person.

7 weeks | 200+ Readers | 1000+ Hours of Reading | A Never-ending Love of Books
Summer is approaching, and this year, just like many before it, the children and teens in our community will continue their learning journey throughout the summer as part of our Summer Fun Program! Combined with weekly fun, multi-age activities, summer literacy is supported by the gift of books for every participant and an age-appropriate reading list to keep the pages turning.
We could not do all of this without you.
Programming such as this, which we offer at no cost, would not be possible without the assistance of supporters like you. Your tax-deductible gift enables us to purchase books for our readers and bring our weekly activities to families. In addition, your donations help purchase the library’s collection of museum passes that can be borrowed, free of cost by our community families! These passes include:
- The Avery-Copp House Museum
- Connecticut’s Old State House Museum
- Custom House Maritime Museum
- Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center
- Florence Griswold Museum
- Lyman Allyn Art Museum
- Niantic Children’s Museum
- USS Constitution Museum
- Wadsworth Atheneum Museum
To provide the funding for all of these experiences, we have set our fundraising goal at $3,000 this year…
Will you help us reach our goal?
On behalf of the The Bill Memorial Library, we thank you for your time and consideration.
Warmly,
Jill Rusk
