Police responded but there was no sign of the man.
Lucky Rice, 33, turned himself in at the Hartford police department shortly after 6 a.m., Hartford police said Wednesday. He's expected to be handed over to Glastonbury police.
A state judge has signed an arrest warrant charging Rice with robbery and larceny.
Rice couldn't be reached for comment, and it's not clear if he has a lawyer.
The incident prompted increased patrols around the library and staff members have increased their presence in secluded areas and are also considering adding security cameras at both entrances.
