📖 About Perrot Memorial Library

<p>Perrot Memorial Library was established in 1931 in the Old Greenwich section of Greenwich, Connecticut. The colonial-style building was designed by D. Everett Waid — a former president of the American Institute of Architects — who donated both the land and the architectural plans. The Town of Greenwich landmarked the building in 2017. Owned and operated by the Perrot Library Association, a private non-profit 501(c)(3), Perrot is affiliated with but independent of Greenwich Library, and maintains its own catalog, programs, and governance while sharing access to digital resources.
