The Children's Room at the Wheeler Library provides library materials and resources for children of all ages. Our collection includes books for infants and children; videos & DVDs; books on tape; and children's magazines.  School age children will find materials for pleasure reading and for completing school assignments.

We often secure materials from other libraries in the state through the Interlibrary Loan System.  To help us help you, please let us know as soon as your project is assigned so that we can make the reference materials available to you. For students working on research projects, we have Internet access.

Settlement of this area had begun by the 1660s and was aided by land grants for public service. In 1720, the north religious society of Stonington was formed to erect a meetinghouse convenient for local worship. It was named North Stonington in 1724 and incorporated as a town by the General Assembly in 1807.

During the 1700s, agriculture was the principal business, together with fulling mills, grist mills, and sawmills. The increasing population in the early 1800s and habits of industry and economy brought tanneries, iron works, cabinetmaking shops, dye houses, dry goods and grocery stores, and cottage weaving.
