The C.H. Booth Library notified The Newtown Bee on Saturday, February 27, reporting the following: “A scam fundraising e-mail using our name has gone out. While we do fundraising campaigns, most recently on Thursday as part of Fairfield County Giving Day (thank you!), this is not one of those.

We are researching the issue and pursuing all possible courses of action available to us at this time. Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent spoofers and spammers from impersonation.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are thankful to all who alerted us to the issue.”
