Connecticut Library Catalogs
Below is a list of library catalogs in state that you are free to search as a guest. Some will tell you if the item you are seeking is available, others will only indicate ownership. Likewise, some will provide information for several libraries at once, others only the specific library of your choosing.
If there is a library in state whose location you would like to see added to this page, please e-mail Su at: sepstein@columbiactlibrary.org and we will do our best to add it.
