As of May 1, the old OverDrive app will be discontinued and all library users will be asked to upgrade to Libby. It’s still FREE with your library card and has all of the features you’re used to from OverDrive – plus even more!
Have questions? Not sure how to begin? Visit this Information Page for answers, tips, and instructional videos. And, as always, the Harwinton Library staff is here to assist you.

Has the warm weather got you itching to start your garden? Our Harwinton Grows Seed Library is open for business. Stop in to browse our selection of fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs and shrubs. Looking for plants that are a little further along? Shop our Annual Plant, Book & Bake Sale! Come early for first choice of plants.

Feeling crafty? Make a special gift for Mom’s special day at our Mother’s Day Craft program. Chalk Up Our Sidewalk with your craziest and most colorful chalk art. Teens are invited to a magical Wand Making Workshop. And the whole family is welcome to create an enchanting Fairy House

Interested in tracing your roots? Contact the Library to schedule a free one-on-one genealogy session with Harwinton Town Historian Susan Fenn McClen. Susan has been active in the genealogy field for 30 years and is a member of over 20 lineage societies. Whether you are a beginner or have specific questions from your own research, Susan can help.
