We are enjoying all of you who making your way in the library to browse in person, but if you’re not ready for that we still have ‘take-out’ service available.  Take advantage of physical books, movies, and music as well as accessing our streaming services such as Hoopla, Kanopy, and Overdrive NH Downloadables.

UNICORN STORYTIME FACEBOOK: Join us on Fridays on Facebook LIVE at 10:30 for some magical stories. Each week our ‘Unicorn Librarian’ will read several picture books. This is just not for kids! Who doesn’t like to listen to a good story? If you are out and about and happen to miss it, just scroll through the Facebook page and have a listen later. You’ll also bump into some other Facebook LIVE events in the past that you might enjoy such as Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle read-alouds, past virtual summer concerts, magical crafternoon videos, and more.  Check it out! Our Facebook page is public so you don’t even need an account to view it. Look for it on the front of our website in the lower right-hand corner.

MARBLE MAZE (Grades 2-5): Join us on Thursday, August 13^th, at 4:00 PM on ZOOM and build a MAZE that works. It can all happen while we're meeting together.

Make the time to be online and it can be fun making something new. Zoom in for a crafty afternoon!

After more than fifteen years of world-wide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson--otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown--have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting. The couple spends half of each year on the road in North America, Europe and New Zealand. Their latest album made the top 10 on the American Folk DJ charts, and at least 14 'Best of the Year' lists.  Register and receive a reminder of this upcoming performance.
