About Visiting the Library:
The State Library, located at 231 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, is open to the public, and is frequently used by state agency employees, legislators and their staffs, judges, law clerks, attorneys and legal researchers, historians, genealogists, students, and business people.
Change
The library staff does not make change for use in photocopying machines,
microfilm printers, computer printers, vendacard dispensers or parking meters,
so to avoid disappointment, patrons should come with an ample supply of quarters
and dollar bills.
One and five-dollar bill changers are available.
Electronic resources
Electronic reference resources, including public Internet access, are available
on a first-come, first-served basis. Computer workstations are reserved in two
hour segments. A patron can sign up for two additional hours if no one else
is waiting.
Prior to using electronic resources, patrons must obtain a State Library card and read the State Library's Requirements for Use of Electronic Information Systems.
Printouts cost $.15 per page and must be paid for with a vendacard.

used, or processed. The public is allowed to have food and drink in the first
floor Lounge only. Snack and drink vending machines are available here.
