Temporary Location: Hartford Times Building
Due to significant water damage sustained at the Hartford Public Library as the result of a burst pipe, the Hartford Public Library (HPL) and all UConn Library spaces located in HPL are closed to the public. HPL does not yet have an estimate on when spaces might reopen.
In the interim, UConn Library will provide reference consultations in person or virtually by appointment. Access to requested materials and reserve items is in a temporary location in the Hartford Times Building (HTB) Room 144 at 10 Prospect St. according to the schedule below:
Spring Semester (starting January 17)
Hartford Times Building
HTB Rm 144
Monday - Thursday 10am-4pm
Faculty and students can continue to request items through the UConn Library catalog for pick up in the temporary location. Item returns may be made at the library's temporary location during business hours or in the HPL Arch St. book drop. All classes assigned to HPL classrooms for the spring semester have been relocated.
