The Wide Awake Girls in Winsted

A college-returning young woman mobilizes a group of local girls to start and run a community lending library, combining practical tasks, fundraising, and social events to serve their town. The narrative follows their meetings, volunteer chores, outings, and occasional setbacks as members learn skills, explore vocational interests, and take on responsibilities such as school and journalism work. Episodes highlight cooperative problem-solving, the pleasures and challenges of civic engagement, and steady personal growth as the girls deepen friendships, discover talents, and prepare for future separations and reunions.
