facility, substantial portions of the Connecticut State Library's
archival collections, along with parts of the book, periodicals, and
original newspaper collections will be unavailable for up to a ten-week

While the State Library will remain open during the time of the moving
project, researchers are advised to contact (860) 757-6500 and/or check
the Library's Website at http://www.cslib.org/ to determine the

post update information on our Website throughout the period of this
project.
