About the Library
The Perrot Memorial Library is located in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, a Long Island Sound seaside community which comprises the eastern portion of the Town of Greenwich. The library, named for John Perrot, Old Greenwich's first private schoolmaster, was founded in 1904 by his descendants. The library moved from place to place until 1930, when architect D. Everett Waid donated a piece of land on Sound Beach Avenue, as well as plans for a Jeffersonian-style building. The Children's Wing was designed by architect Mark B. Thompson and construction was completed in 1998. The new addition was funded by a major gift from the Radcliffe family and donations from many members of our community. Perrot Library is a private, 501(c)(3) institution, owned by the Perrot Library Association, although it is affiliated (and shares a catalog) with the Greenwich Public Library System. As of 2016, Perrot Library has in its collection approximately 31,000 adult books and 29,000 children's books, as well as over 2,500 music CDs, 1,500 audiobooks, 4,900 DVDs and Blu-Rays, and subscriptions to 110 periodicals. During Fiscal Year 2015/2016, the Library was visited over 170,000 times; we circulated almost 247,000 items; over 39,000 reference questions were answered; and our public computers and WiFi were used more than 20,000 times.

This is the saddest posting the Perrot has ever had to make.
Please accept our sincere sympathies. The library community is heartbroken. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

I was on the Notable Children's Video committee with Kathy. I am profoundly sad and shocked after finding out Kathy was gone. A fellow committee member notifed us this morning. She was the chair of my committee and was the loveliest person I have known in a long time. She had an infectious smile, great sense of style, and was just someone I greatly admired. I am honored to have known her for such a short amount of time. My last memory of her is when she grabbed my hand as she walked by before going into the Monday morning awards announcements. My sympathies to her family, friends, your community and anyone who was graced with Kathy's life and smile.
Kate had such sparkle. Her love of good kids books was inspiring. Her pleasure in discovering a good book was contagious. She was an unbelievable mentor and did so many things for people in this field that we will never know about. A truly great and generous spirit we will all miss.
