A Note on Services and Face Masks:
Since reopening in September, West Hartford Public Library has offered continuous public access to its buildings. As the vaccine rollout and local case rate continue to decline, we continue to increase our hours while maintaining some restrictions designed to keep the public and staff safe. At this time, appointments are no longer required to visit the library or use a computer. Both Faxon and Bishops Corner libraries are increasing their hours at this time. Please see branch hours above for further details.

Curbside Service
To place a hold on library materials to pick up at one of our locations, patrons may call to place a hold or place one through the Library’s online catalog. All holds will be filled as the item becomes available and in the order in which they are placed. There is no guaranteed “same-day” service.

How Curbside Works
- All appointments for pick up must be made at the library location where you will be picking up your items during the hours that the location is staffed.
- All items need to be returned in the library book drops, not handed to staff.
- When your hold is ready you will receive an email from the library asking you to call to arrange an appointment for pickup. If you do not have an email address, you will receive a notification by mail.
- You will be given a 15 minute time slot to come and pick up your material.
- Park in a designated spot marked with an orange cone near the S. Main St. entrance at NWL or near the main entrances at each branch.
- Your items, labeled with your name, will be waiting for you on a table near the entrance.
- Individuals with a handicapped parking permit may park in designated spaces and call the location specific phone numbers listed above for staff assistance.
