Virtual Meeting Room Services Available through the East Hartford Public Library
Foundation: Hartford Foundation for Public Giving
The East Hartford Public Library has launched a virtual meeting room service through Zoom, providing a safe and convenient way of face-to-face meetings for non-profit organizations and community groups.
This new service is funded by Hartford Public Giving to support the participation of citizens and residents in the area.
This new virtual meeting room service supported by the Hartford Foundation will fill the gap in service, and our lower-level meeting rooms are still closed to the public.
