HARTFORD, Conn. — The Hartford Public Library's main branch, the Downtown Library, will stay closed for the summer as repairs from pipe damage continue.
A pipe burst on Christmas Eve, and the construction and repairs from the damage are expected to continue into the summer. They hope to reopen some of the areas this fall.
"The Downtown Library is a vital resource for our community, and we are committed to reopening it as soon as possible," the library said in an update on social media Thursday.
There is a campaign underway to help the Hartford Public Library "Restore & Renew" the spaces that are under construction.
Most of the Downtown's collection of books and DVDs were not damaged but are not available to use as construction continues.
In the meantime, there are several library branches around the capital city to visit, including Albany Ave., Barbour St., and Park St.
