To be respectful toward our library staff and other customers, please try to be on time for your appointment. Please feel free to cancel an hour before your appointment by calling the Downtown Library at (860) 695-6300 . If you miss 2 appointments without informing a library staff member, you’ll forfeit the right to schedule additional designated appointments. You will still be able to come to the library to receive help as it is available when you arrive. Library staff members offering appointments reserve the right to reschedule or cancel at any time.
