Director's Greeting
On behalf of the Library Board and staff, I want to welcome you to the new Jack Russell Memorial Library website and we invite everyone to come visit our marvelous new facility. Thanks to Gerry Russell's generous $2 million dollar gift, combined with hundreds of other Hartford area donations from individuals, businesses and service clubs totaling an additional $2.3 million dollars, this public-private partnership with the City of Hartford has been successful in developing a wonderful new library for our community to use and enjoy for years to come. We look forward to seeing you at our new address at 100 Park Avenue on the Hartford Mill Pond.
