Lending Library
Our lending library collection spans a variety of adoption related topics. There are books geared to parents, professionals and adolescents, as well as storybooks for children.
Books may be borrowed by submitting a phone or email request. Please include:
- the name of the book
- the author’s name
- your name
- your full address with zip code
- your daytime phone number
- your email address
If the title is available, it will be mailed to you at no expense within a few days.
Books should be returned within a four-week time frame. If a borrower wishes, an extension may be requested. If there is not a wait list for the title, the book may be kept for an additional four weeks.
Books may be dropped off at the reception desk during normal hours of operation (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). They may also be returned through the U.S. Mail at the borrower’s expense. If mailed, please wrap the book carefully and address to:
Adoption Assistance Program
UConn Health Center
270 Farmington Avenue, Suite 262
Farmington, CT 06032-6210
Should you wish to add one of these books to your personal library, most can be purchased from Amazon or Tapestry Books. Tapestry Books is a good resource for adoption titles for readers of all ages.
