Local leaders and community members are pushing to bring a new branch of Stamford's Ferguson Library to the city's East End.

The Ferguson Library currently operates a main branch downtown, as well as branches in the South End, West Side and two in North Stamford.

Stamford Board of Representatives Deputy Majority Leader Maureen Pollack is helping spearhead the effort, hoping to renovate an old building in Courtland Park.

She will present her plan at the Stamford Board of Finance's public hearing for the 2026-27 fiscal year budget on Wednesday, April 8, and is asking supporters to either sign up to speak during the public comment period or submit a written comment by emailing bdrreps@stamfordct.gov or calling 203-977-4024.
