The library is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and patrons are welcome to drop in any time. Activities will include a photobooth with props.

On Feb. 11th, the children's room will have craft time for 'tweens and teens. Children ages 10 and over may come in from 6 to 6:30 p.m. and make a rubber band bracelet. The teen craft on Feb. 18th will be duct tape roses.

Patrons of all ages are invited to drop in at the library on Thursday Feb. 13th to make a valentine.

Playgroup for children ages birth to 5 years old is scheduled for 11 a.m. to noon on Feb. 19 and 26. Children will enjoy free play, songs, and games.

Music and arts time, which includes songs and crafts for children ages birth to 5, is scheduled for 11 a.m. to noon on Feb. 20 and 27.

Toddler time at the Wickham Branch, at 656 Burnside Ave., will be held from 11 a.m. to noon on Feb. 7, 14, 21, and 28. Toddler time includes stories and a craft for children ages 2 to 4.

The library will be closed on Wednesday Feb. 12 for Lincoln's birthday, and on Monday Feb. 17th for Washington's birthday.

An adult program, "The Affordable Care Act: Just The Facts," is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The program will be held in Room 107 of the Community Cultural Center at 50 Chapman St. The workshop is a free opportunity to learn about the Affordable Care Act and Connecticut's new insurance marketplace.

The library's fine forgiveness program runs through June 30. Library patrons who donate dry goods to be distributed at local food banks will have their overdue fines erased.

Overdue fines will be forgiven for people who donate new paper products, including paper towels, toilet paper, tissues and diapers, or new, full-size personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, shampoo and soap.

The library cannot forgive charges for lost or damaged materials, but patrons are encouraged to speak to any library staff member about ways to clear their accounts.

Community members who do not have fines but wish to donate paper or personal products to help the food banks may drop off items when the libraries are open.

While renovations to the main library building are ongoing, the Raymond Library is at 50 Chapman Place in the lower level of the East Hartford Community Cultural Center.
