Around Middletown in 80 Days: Day 2


The Russell Library
123 Broad Street

In order to better understand the world he will be exploring, Phileas Fogg’s second destination is the Russell Library. Striving to be the “Gateway to the Future of Middletown”, the Russell Library offers a wide range of library services, career resources, nonprofit organization assistance, art classes, music performances and film showings. It is no wonder the Russell Library was awarded the 2009 Public Service Award from the Connecticut Library Association and the Connecticut State Library. After enjoying a delicious Oddfellows Tribute special at ION last night, Phileas will spend the day utilizing the library's services and catching up on the summer reading he put off until the last minute.

Join the librarian staff tonight for an end of summer ice cream social, from 6:30-7:30pm.

  1. I first started visiting the library in the early 1950's in the children's section, had to use the side entrance on Court street. What a wonderful world it was, free books.
