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.
