In response to the bombings at the Boston Marathon, Newtown is providing a space for the community to gather for support, guidance and to be with one another. 

Newtown Health District Director Donna Culbert says as the town continues to navigate through the response to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the events in Boston will impact people differently.  She urged residents in the coming days to do whatever gives comfort whether it's talking, exercising, working or art.

C. H. Booth Library will be open today from 11am to 5pm for people to gather.  Weekend hours are still to be determined.
