Mission: to provide the best possible informational, educational, cultural and recreational services in a warm and inviting environment. The Thompson Public Library was incorporated in 1902 with a collection of 1,
370
books
in
1,
990
square
feet
of
space.
Located
on
Thompson
Hill
in
a
charming
stone
building,
the
main
library
outgrew
its
space
and
two
branches
were
opened,
one
in
Grosvenordale
in
1958
and
one
in
Quinebaug
in
1961.
The
year
1966
saw
more
changes
as
the
Quinebaug
branch
was
enlarged
and
the
Grosvenordale
branch
was
closed.
The
town
of
Thompson
was
the
first
small
town
in
Connecticut
to
have
a
bookmobile
service
in
1966,
acquiring
an
official
vehicle
in
1970
that
ran
until
1993.
A
new,
larger
location
was
established
in
North
Grosvenordale
with
an
innovative
After
School
Program
started
in
1987.
The
new
Thompson
Public
Library/Community
Center
is
a
modern
facility
that
serves
the
residents
of
the
various
villages
as
well
as
those
from
surrounding
communities.
When
the
new
library
was
completed
in
1994
the
branches
were
closed
and
bookmobile
service
was
discontinued.
Today
the
library
has
a
collection
close
to
50,
000
items
with
new
technology
and
facilities
to
offer
while
maintaining
a
friendly,
personal
service.
The
book
History
of
the
Thompson
Library,
written
by
Ron
Tillen,
is
available
for
purchase
at
the
Library.
The
Thompson
Public
Library/Community
Center
is
a
20,
400
