• Avon/Canton Lawmaker Earns Major Honor From Library Organization (patch.com) — Avon and Canton residents may be interested to know that their state representative, Eleni Kavros DeGraw, has been named a 2026 Legislator of the Year by the Connecticut Library Association for her work on digital access and eBook licensing. Her advocacy is credited with strengthening Connecticut libraries’ ability to secure fair terms for digital materials, which supports better information access for communities like Avon.
• State Announces Funding Hikes For Towns, How Much Did Avon Get? (patch.com) — Avon homeowners and parents could see some relief as the town is set to receive an extra $233,630 in state aid under the fiscal year 2027 budget adjustment, most of it for education.
