This card can be used to borrow materials at the Wethersfield Public Library, or most other public libraries in Connecticut. If you live in another town, your hometown library card can be used in Wethersfield. |

We have books, videocassettes, magazines, audio cassettes, records, newspapers, CD Rom, and framed art prints. Seasonally we have free passes to local museums and tourist attractions which may be borrowed by town residents. We have a Reference department where you may use atlases, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and many other books or online sources. We also make available a regional computerized card catalog and information database called CONNECT, which can be used on one of our nine terminals in the library or from your own home or office computer. |
