Community Access

We are open to the public and welcome visitors. During the academic year, the ideal times to come to the library are on weekends or from 4-6 p.m. during the week. Please check our hours online when planning your visit or call us at 860-435-3247. During the summer, you may need to stop at Security in order to gain access to the Main Building.

During times of high library usage, such as during assessment (exam) periods, we may ask you to reschedule your visit. Current Hotchkiss students have priority for seating, reference assistance, and materials at all times.

Note that study rooms, classrooms, and some library resources are available only to current Hotchkiss students, faculty, and staff.
