Flood Updates

4/30/2025

Hello Hagaman Friends & Family,

Though our building is still temporarily closed, Library staff are working to provide new programs and increasing digital services. With that in mind, we are excited to announce this week that we are temporarily expanding access to Hoopla Digital, now with 8 free borrows per month for anyone with a valid Hagaman Library Card! To check out Hoopla books from the comfort of your home, visit: https://www.hoopladigital.com/. Don’t have a library card? We have other options available! For more information, visit: https://hagamanlibrary.org/ebooksandaudio/.

Thanks to members of our community providing feedback last week regarding our calendar, we’re also happy to report we’ve simplified the display so it’s easier to access. Please check out our Library Calendar to view programs that have been moved to new locations around town! Thank you to our community partners for their support and for offering locations for events, including: East Haven Public Schools, the Family Resource Center, East Haven Adult Ed, the Senior Center, East Haven Youth Services, East Haven Recreation Department, ETV, and Old Stone Church.

If you have reference questions or need other assistance while the library is closed, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can also follow us on Facebook for the latest programming news, and be sure to check back here for updates on the restoration process!

Thank you for your continued support,

Sincerely,

Sarah Mallory, Library Director

To Our Library Patrons and Our Community,

As you may have heard, Hagaman Library is temporarily closed due to flooding caused by a broken pipe. Thanks to the quick actions of library staff, our town administration, and the Department of Public Works, the flooding was controlled in a timely fashion. Now, we are working on restoring services as safely and as quickly as possible.

Though our building is temporarily closed, Hagaman Library is more than just a space in our community! We encourage you to check out the free, instant access we provide to eBooks, audiobooks and streaming services, so you can continue to enjoy reading material from home.

Thanks to the generous support of our community partners, we are also proud to be offering off-site programming for all ages. Many events have been relocated. Please check our Library Calendar and our Facebook Page for updates on programs. And be sure to check here for updates on the restoration process as we work on reopening the library we all love.

Thank you for your patience and your continued support.

Sincerely,

Sarah Mallory, Library Director
