Due to the recent water main break and the need for extensive repair, cleanup, and other associated work, the lower level of the Wethersfield Library will be closed until further notice. Unfortunately at this time, we do not have a timeframe as to when the work will be completed to resume normal operations.

During the next few weeks, we anticipate moving a portion of the children's collection to a temporary location within the Library so that children and their families will have access.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
