Say hello to our new library network! 👋👋

Our switch to the LCI consortium is live! We now share resources with 30+ other libraries around the state that will continue to help fill holds and provide even more materials to you!

Don't worry though, you can still bring your valid Meriden Public Library card and photo ID to any public library in the state of CT to check out physical items like books, movies and video games!

Sharing is what public libraries are all about✨
