About masks and other pandemic changes…
Although masks are no longer required in the Library or other Town buildings, the CDC recommends that everyone---regardless of vaccination status--- wear masks in public spaces while the COVID surge continues. We ask that you consider wearing a mask during your library visits, especially in the Children's/YA area, where you are likely to encounter unvaccinated young people. We’ll still provide a mask for you if you arrive without one. Our programs will continue to include both live and virtual options when possible, and we will gradually reintroduce use of our meeting rooms. As the situation evolves, these protocols could change again. We appreciate your patience as we all navigate each new phase of the pandemic.
During periods of uncertain weather, we sometimes need to adjust hours or close the Library in the interest of safety for patrons and staff. If changing weather might present hazardous driving conditions, please call the Library's main number (860) 644-1541 to be sure we are open before coming to use our services.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND ROOM USE DURING THE PANDEMIC
Our rules for use of meeting and study rooms at the Library have changed periodically during the COVID pandemic, and this will continue until infection rates decrease substantially and social gatherings no longer pose a serious risk of contagion. We will observe Town decisions regarding pandemic protocols and will monitor public health research when determining acceptable activities in our building.
- We may limit the number of library program participants or determine that “in-person” programs will be held virtually.
- We may decline requests for meeting room use by community groups when the proposed activity would prevent following announced protocols.
- We may cancel or postpone activities if the COVID situation worsens significantly, even if the activity was previously announced or approved.
