New Books for Tuesday

Here are some of our latest acquisitions!  Happy reading!




Happy Halloween!


 Library staff had fun today dressing up as some of our favorite literary characters, including Dorothy Gale and the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz, The Cat In the Hat, Anne of Green Gables, and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.  We even had treats!  Happy Halloween!

Update on Internet & Wi-Fi

We have 6 Internet-accessible computers available for public use.  A library card in good standing is required to log on.  If you are from out of state or do not have a library card, we can issue you a guest pass, but Connecticut residents are limited to one guest pass only and are expected to have a library card from their town of residence for future computer use.  Those with lost items or fines exceeding $9.99 on their cards will be blocked from computer use until the charges are cleared up.  Please talk to us if your card is blocked so we can help figure out how to get your record back on track!

Right now we are not offering wi-fi for the public.  We greatly regret this decision, but our bandwidth cannot support streaming movies or downloading large files.  Engaging in these activities results in loss of Internet speed for everyone, sometimes leaving staff unable to perform basic library functions.  We expect to convert to fiber optic cable Internet early in 2018 and at that point, we will be able to offer full Internet and Wi-Fi access for the public.

We appreciate your patience during this transitional period and hope that when our fiber-optic is activated we will see our wi-fi users back in the library.

Public Computers

Our public computers are currently unavailable.  We are in the process of working on Windows 10 updates, which have proven to be causing some of our bandwidth problems.  We appreciate your patience.

Internet Is Back!

Our Internet and WiFi have been restored and our bandwidth increased thanks to the miracles of modern technology.  Public PCs are again available for use and WiFi is running.

Thank you all for your patience and loyalty to the library during this stressful time.  We know that the past twelve days have been tough, but we are happy to see our regular PC users back in their chairs again.

New Month, New Books

Out today!
