Attention Storytime attendees! While the doors are being refinished, let's have Storytime on the Lawn at the Library! If you can join us, we'll read at 11:30 on Thursday mornings, weather permitting. If you would like to check out books, please call the library in advance (603-835-6661) so I can get them ready for you. There will still be no admittance to the building. I hope to see you there!

Beginning Thursday, August 20th, and lasting for two to three weeks, the Library will be closed due to work on the front doors.

We will provide access to library resources through curbside service whenever possible. Please contact the library at 603-835-6661 or
[email protected] before you come to the Library to arrange for curbside pickup for materials of your choice. Please check back for updates.
