The Slater Library is the public library of Griswold, Connecticut.^[2] It is located in a historic building at 26 Main Street in the borough of Jewett City.

The Romanesque Revival building was constructed in 1884 with funds donated by John Fox Slater, a New England industrialist and philanthropist. The original building was designed by Stephen C. Earle, and was nearly doubled in size in 1930 with the addition of the Fanning Annex, designed by the Norwich firm of Cudworth and Thompson, and funded by a bequest from local businessman David Hale Fanning.^[3]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.^[1]

The Griswold Historical Society Museum is located on the second floor of the Slater Library.^[4] The museum's displays illustrate life in New England during the 18th and 19th centuries, and are themed around a farmer's workshop, a kitchen, school and children's playthings. The museum is open on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month in the afternoon.
