When you see snow flying around Litchfield County, remember to check the UConn Torrington campus website homepage and/or the emergency closing snowline at 860-626-6808 for the latest information. Please keep in mind that when the campus cancels classes due to the weather conditions, the library may decide to change its hours of operation. Call first at 860-626-6820 to see if the library is open for business.

The University of Connecticut Torrington Campus Library now offers the self-check service, an extension of a similar service found at the main campus library at Storrs. A new self check workstation, located at the far end of the circulation desk, provides you with the option of checking-out materials on your own using your active university ID. This service is will allow you the convenience of faster checkouts when the library staff are busy.
Visit the library and check it out. (Sorry for the lame humor).

The Julia Brooker Thompson Library at the University of Connecticut Torrington Campus welcomes you to our blog. Check in regularly to learn more about the library, the campus and things of interest.
Although we are the smallest UConn Library, we offer the full array of services you expect at an university library- reference, library instruction, document delivery and interlibrary loan, wireless and wired network connections and more.
We primarily serve the faculty, staff and students at UConn Torrington, but we also are open to those in the Litchfield County area. So stop in soon.
