This door will now remained locked from 2:00pm when the Public Library opens until 3:15pm when school is dismissed. During this period library patrons are asked to enter the school through the main entrance which is to the left of the library door. This will allow the main office of the school to keep track of who is entering the building. There are two handicapped parking spots to the left of this entrance for those who may be challenged by the additional walking. We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued patronage.

Scheduled book club meetings – brief description found on Events Page:

Remember to Find us on Facebook! Downloadable Book Program You now have an internet-based library available in your home – come in and get your new 14-digit library patron card to obtain access and information on nh.lib.overdrive.com.  These  books are now compatible for all e-readers and we are sure many of you will find many interesting books currently available, or in the future by adding your name to the list.

We’re looking for more patrons to “Sponsor an Author” You may choose an author for a substantial savings by having the library purchase the title at wholesale cost. A book plate with your name inside will be inserted and you are the first to read the novel. This not only helps defray the cost of books for your library but it is a wonderful way to support your local library! Authors Joe Coomer, Janet Evanovich, Lisa Gardner and James Patterson are already taken!
