Temporary Suspension of Inter-Library Delivery Services: The Connecticut State Library is currently restructuring the DeliverIt System. As a result we will not have delivery service for the first two weeks of July. - If you need an item immediately that another library has available, you may want to go to that library directly and pick up the item. Cora J. Belden Library Information Staff can guide you in identifying owning libraries and contacting the library for you.
- You will also be able to place holds on other libraries' materials, as long as you pick them up at the owning library.
- If you check out items at another library, we ask that you return the items directly to the owning library.
Please see more information on our fact sheet (which also includes information on our downloadable items)
