🎉We’re so excited to share that Taftville now has a book drop!

You asked, and we listened. Our new book drop is located in the Nutmeg Pharmacy Taftville plaza, alongside NE Home Improvement .

You can also return library books at our two other remote book drops: Walmart Norwich and UCFS Healthcare .

And of course, you can always return your books right at the library! Use the book drop outside the building, or come inside and find the book drop next to the front desk. Happy returning! 📖✨

Thank you to Paula and Finn O’Neill and to OneKey, LLC for their continued support of our community and for allowing us to place the book return on their property. We truly appreciate their kindness and generosity!
