• New Milford Library Board Approves Endowment Policy Changes, Dec. 26 Closure (patch.com) — New Milford residents will see several changes at their public library, including a Dec. 26 closure due to historically low use and an updated endowment spending policy to better manage designated funds. Trustees also discussed a new state-supported laptop loan program, ongoing fixes to humidity and equipment issues in the building, and set their 2027 meeting schedule around major holidays.
• Ice cream shop owner bemoans New Milford's 'ridiculous' decision to deny his neon-style window signs (nhregister.com) — New Milford's zoning board has voted to deny neon-style window and string lights at Jesse's Ice Cream on Main Street, meaning the shop will soon have to remove or relocate the signs. The owner argues the LED signs create a welcoming atmosphere vital to his business, while zoning officials say they conflict with rules protecting the historic green's character and lighting standards.
• CIAC football Week 3 by the numbers: Fun facts, figures from CT's high school football scene (newstimes.com) — New Milford football fans can celebrate a 2-0 start after the team, which had just one win last year, opened this season with victories including a recent win over Bristol Eastern.
