Important Update - Library Closure

The Cora J. Belden Library will be closed until further notice.

The decision to re-open will be made in conjunction with the Central Connecticut Health District and the Town of Rocky Hill.

Public Libraries throughout Connecticut are committed to offering the best service to the public. Please know that we are continuing to honor that commitment while balancing public health during what we hope is a short-term disruption.

Please see our full notice HERE.
