Greetings and salutations to libraryland CT!

Fall trees are looking spectacular, and so are our autumn books! You can still request 10 of our children’s fall and 5 Thanksgiving books.

But wait, there’s more! Get your library’s Christmas “shopping” done early and borrow winter and holiday children’s books and adult large print now. For children’s books, you can have up to 5 Kwanzaa, 5 Hanukkah, 25 Christmas, and 15 winter titles. These are mostly picture books with some juvenile nonfiction.

You can also borrow 5 winter and 10 Christmas adult large print books. (This estimate is based on previous years’ demand. If you think you might want more, specify in your email and I’ll send more if we have extras after everyone has responded.) They will be due 90 days after checkout. They will be sent in deliverIT CT, or you can schedule a curbside pickup.

Please email Judy Crooks off-list to request children’s books: Judy.Crooks@ct.gov. Please email me off-list to request large print books: Grace.Burchard@ct.gov If you want only some of the above categories, or fewer books than the numbers listed, just let us know. You’re also welcome to search our catalog and place holds. If you have any questions about logging in, please call the Service Center: 860-704-2200. I hope you all have a happy and healthy fall and winter!
