Hartford Public Library Night

Hartford Public Library (HPL) is partnering with the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History to offer an evening of FREE admission to the Museum for all Hartford residents. With an HPL library card or proof of Hartford address, visitors are invited to browse the museum and take part in guided tours of the Connecticut’s Bookshelf exhibit.

Staff from the Library will be on hand to help you learn more about HPL, get a library card, and get to know HPL’s Hartford History Center. Enjoy two opportunities for a guided tour of our Connecticut’s Bookshelf exhibition, which explores Connecticut’s literary evolution from the 1700s to today. You can also attend a screening of the short film Thoughts Are Things, an inspirational story about the power of books, followed by a Q&A with the director, Christopher T. Brown. Light refreshments will be provided.

Free admission is available starting at 4:00 pm, and guided tours of the exhibit will be offered at 5:15 pm and 7:00 pm (or you can browse the exhibition on your own anytime). The film screening will begin at 6:00 pm.
