As a resident of Wethersfield, you are entitled to a free library card. Apply for a Library Card Online. It’s Free!

We invite you to visit the Library at www.wethersfieldlibrary.org from anywhere that you use the Internet, you can check the catalog, use the online databases, ask a reference question, check your borrowing record or renew, reserve or request a book.

The Library collection begins with books and magazines to read but it includes much more.

• Recorded books on tape, CD or downloadable from the Internet
• Music CD’s
• eBooks
• DVDs and videos of feature films, TV shows, and ‘how to do it’ demonstration
• 255 magazine subscriptions

Your Wethersfield library card can be used in any other public library in Connecticut through the ConnectiCard program. You may return the items you have borrowed to any Connecticut public library and the ConnectiCar delivery service will return them to the owning library.

If what you want is checked out, we can reserve it for you. You can also place reserves online through our website, or by phone. You can renew the items you have borrowed in person, by phone or online. Ask for a bookmark that tells you how.

You can give us your email address and we will send your notices including holds available for pickup, and items about to come due. You can also sign up to receive our monthly newsletter, Word by Word, as well as email letters highlighting new and interesting books that match your reading interests.

No longer wonder if you’ve missed a new book by one of your favorite authors. Pick from our list of popular fiction authors and we will automatically place a reserve for you on each new title as it arrives.

The Library has passes to loan for free or reduced rate admission to a large list of area museums. This service is underwritten by the Friends of the Wethersfield Library. Ask for a brochure.

In a hurry? Read in the fast lane? You’ll love this collection. Extra copies of best sellers are bought for the Fast Lane collection. These copies can’t be reserved, can’t be renewed, and have a one week loan. That keeps them moving and that means there is something new and exciting to read every time you visit the Library.
There are also Fast Lane DVDs! Like the Fast Lane books, these cannot be reserved or renewed. They also have a 3-day loan period, and you can only check out 3 at a time. They must be returned to the Wethersfield Library to avoid fines.

For Adults— Computer classes, book discussions, writing workshops, author appearances, public issues forums, concerts.

For Children— Summer reading clubs, storyhours, book discussions, crafts, music.

Ask at the service desks for current information on programs for all ages.
