Lucy Library Keeping Pace With Technology

I recently heard some Newington residents say that libraries will close in a couple of years. Are we really obsolete? No longer current? This is hardly the case for Lucy Robbins Welles Library!

Yes, we do have books. Many are in multiple formats -- print, large print, audio, and ebooks. In addition, there are video games, music CDs, entertainment and educational DVDs, digital streaming of music, movies and TV shows, and free downloadable music and magazines.

"Lucy's" staff educates the public on various electronic devices and offers many technology programs including Tech Troubleshooting with Teens as well as Tech 4 U, one-on-one sessions. To remain on the cutting edge of technology, we are adding a 3-D printer to our currently offered services. Students and adults will have endless possibilities for creative endeavors. Who knows what one of our patrons might be inspired to invent?

Lucy Robbins Welles Library will continue to be a worthwhile and technologically up-to-date facility for our town. Check out our website at www.newingtonct.gov/library or better still, stop by for a visit. You will be surprised!
