Did you know BPL provides notary services? Many documents such as mortgages, real estate deeds, and certain affidavits are not legally binding unless they’re properly notarized. As an impartial witness, the Notary verifies that the signers of documents are who they say they are. The Notary also makes sure that signers have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly. 

In addition to her many other roles, Librarian Mara Whitman is the Notary Public for Bloomfield Public Library. She is available by appointment only. To make an appointment for free notary services, please email Mara at mwhitman@libraryconnection.info or call the library at 860-243-9721.

Before the appointment, please make sure to note the following:

• Do NOT sign your documents. Documents must be signed in the presence of the Notary Public. 
• Two forms of I.D. are required – an up-to-date driver’s license or government-issued photo ID, plus one other form of identification showing your name.
• The library cannot notarize wills, powers of attorney, trusts, or any other document that requires a witness.

We look forward to serving your notary needs!
