Get In On The Action This Summer

We've got lots in store for Adults, Teens and Kids. 
Read on to see how you can join the fun and  win prizes.

9/11 Exhibit: Inspiring Reflection and Remembrance
World Trade Center Artifact on the 3rd Floor of the Library
During the next few weeks, as our summer reading programs burst with superheroes, we ask that people visit this poignant display on the 3rd floor. While there, please share your thoughts in the book we will have out for that purpose, or just stop by for a quiet visit.

We encourage you to view this very special display, "... in honor and remembrance of the heroes and victims of September 11, 2001.. And to celebrate the enduring spirit of all Americans".

Special thanks to Chief O'Brien and the crew at Goffstown Fire Department for sharing this testament to courage, resilience and heroism.
Summer Hours 

The library is closed on Saturdays during July and August.
Even when we're closed, if you have internet access, you can  view your account to: renew books, pay fines and fees, place requests, and download e-books and audio books. All you need is your library card barcode number and password.





SUMMER READING PROGRAMS AREN'T JUST FOR KIDS
Each of our three Summer Reading Programs has a different range of fun events, games and prizes. Choose which events you'd like to attend and sign up at the library, or at our online calendar.
