Who Does Nutmeg? Nutmeg Participants

A list (by no means comprehensive) of Connecticut schools, libraries and organizations that participate in the Nutmeg Award

Don’t see your organization here? Send us an email with your Group’s name, town and web address (optional) and we’ll add you to the list!

Also, if your school or town library runs a successful (or even mildly interesting!) Nutmeg event, please write me, and I will add it to your organization's listing. (See Darien and Sherman for examples). We'd love to share all your wonderful Nutmeg ideas!
