Ansonia Library, Public library in Ansonia, United States.

The building was donated in 1892 as a civic gift to the town, establishing its role as a public institution. This gift came from a prominent family connected to the early industrial development of Ansonia.
The library serves as a community gathering place with resources for readers of all ages and interests. Its role in town life reflects how such institutions connect people through shared access to information and learning.
