It's Tuesday Again!

This is a great week for a new book!  Here are a few to choose from:



"Sparkling" Progress on Solving the Crime!

The Country Fair Murder - Wednesday, July 19 @ 6:30 PM.
Call 860-627-1495 to register.
Space is limited!


Does this look like the face of a killer?  Jewelry designer Joyce Jellico, owner of Sparkles Jewelry, might look like the girl next door, but don't be fooled by appearances, because she certainly has motive to want Daphne Templeton-Kendall out of the way.  Desperation can drive even the most pleasant people over the brink.  Join us on July 19 to solve the case during this interactive evening of mystery!

DeliverIT: Transporting Materials Between Libraries

We wanted to let you know about a new development in library services. deliverIT is changing.

We’ve all read the stories about how tight the State budget is. Over the last few years, the Connecticut State Library (CSL) has faced continual cuts in funding—including the funding for deliverIT, the service that transports materials between libraries To make sure all libraries across Connecticut receive fair and equitable delivery services, the State Library is retooling deliverIT.

The new deliverIT will provide delivery service to every library across the state up to five days a week. Each library will be able to receive no more three bins of items per day (approximately 75 books, DVDs, magazines, etc.).

Libraries across the state will suspend deliverIT services for two weeks starting July 3rd. These two weeks have historically had low numbers in terms of items transported between and among our libraries. Our goal is to lessen the impact on you, our patrons, during these two weeks and then resume deliverIT service on or around July 17th.

If you have items that came through deliverIT or borrowIT, please bring them back to our library or to the originating library (the library it came from). Our goal is to return all items to their home libraries during these two weeks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the State Library by using the online form at http://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/deliveritchanges/comments.

Thank you for your patience during this transition.  Please contact us if you need materials that we do not own.  We will be happy to try and locate them for pick-up in a nearby library.
