At the Library
This is an excellent time to explore the Library’s digital offerings. Thousands of eBooks, downloadable audiobooks and streaming videos are available. Patrons need an up-to-date library card in order to access our digital collections. If your library card has expired, or you are a resident who needs a library card, email staff@harwintonlibrary.org. We can issue a temporary card or extend your expired card until the library reopens to the public so you will enjoy digital access.

Masks are required in order to enter the building. No toys or children’s computers will be available but children are welcome to select items for borrowing. Call 860-485-9113 to make a reservation.
We continue to offer Curbside Pickup.

Please continue to return ALL Library materials through our Book Drop. NO returns will be accepted at the Circulation Desk. No late fines will be charged.
Please be aware that our plans to reopen may be delayed if there is a spike in local cases or new directives from state or town officials. We appreciate your patience as we take this next step toward restoring full services and we cannot wait to see you!
