Search our entire 14,000-volume collection from home Click on the Library Collection button, left, or read through the directions here first. Please note: Because of continuing technical difficulties, you can no longer reserve a copy of a book online. (You can still search our collection and see whether a book is in or out at the moment.) If you would like to reserve a book, please call the library at 860-482-8806, or e-mail us here. The software and the server for this effort were partly funded by grants from New Hartford Community Connections, Inc. (publisher of the New Hartford Telephone Directory). We appreciate its members’ generosity.

Book Club at a Glance: Our next meeting will be some Friday in August, at 7:30 pm. We will be discussing Angel’s Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Please call 860-482-8806 for more information.
