Published April 09. 2021 8:42AM Kevin Gorden, Special to The Times Otis Library has been open by appointment only since July, and it doesn’t appear things will change anytime soon. “That model has been working very well. The public has adapted,” said library Director Robert Farwell. Farwell says recent relaxations of restrictions on library operations in Connecticut won’t change things right now at Otis. “We’re going to continue to rely on this (appointment) model, and proceed very carefully, cautiously, with opening on any broader basis.” Activities such as large group meetings, and one-on-one teaching sessions remain suspended. Twice-a-year annual book sales, a major fundraiser for the library, have also been temporarily halted, which makes a recent restaurant collaboration welcome.
