JACKSON SKI TOURING Library Pass

in /by

IT’S A GREAT WINTER TO GET OUT AND SKI!

The Friends of the Library have generously purchased a library pass for Jackson Ski Touring again this year.  The pass is good for one day of skiing for one individual, think of it as a 2 for 1 if you have a friend you are hoping to ski with or go solo.  E-mail the library, with the date you would like to request the pass and if it is available on that date you can take your return e-mail from the library directly to the ticket counter to pick up your day pass.  If you have never had the opportunity to try nordic skiing give it a glide!

The Interlibrary loan van service facilitated by the New Hampshire State Library will resume service for lending and borrowing materials on 9/15.  The first van delivery for us will be 9/22, however, new Covid protocol will require materials to be quarantined for 72 hours before they are transported on the van and after materials are received.  This means that although the van will make our delivery on Tuesday, requested items will not be available until Saturdays at the earliest.  Please call or e-mail the library with requests.

Covid-19 Update

The Bartlett Public Library will be closed indefinitely in accordance with the State of Emergency declaration from the Governor, our primary concern is for the safety of our patrons and community.   Because our library is located within the school owned building we are obligated to follow the directives of SAU 9 which state that no individuals other than employees will be allowed in the building.  This is the perfect time to access Overdrive, our online resource for e-books, audio books and periodicals. You can link directly from our home page by clicking on the Overdrive icon.  If you need a Wifi connection feel free to use our parking lot, you should be able to access the Public Library Wifi from there.    If you have any questions or requests during this time period please e-mail the library, Please feel free to return books in the outside drop box.  Thank you for your patience and understanding, stay healthy, Staff and Trustees of the Bartlett Public Library
