Libraries Transform How has the Library changed your life?
The Goffstown Public Library is gathering unique stories about your library experiences.
Many of our patrons have a story to tell ... - ways the Library affected their future; - about a service or resource that made a difference; - or how friendly help was there when it was most needed. Will you share your story? You can submit yours online, at the Library, or by emailing your name, and story, to goflib@goffstownlibrary.com.
Continue the tradition with the Library and the Goffstown Network Food Pantry and encourage today's generation to grow and give. Now is the time to plant extra rows in your vegetable garden for a bountiful harvest that can be donated to a family in need later this summer. The Library supports the Goffstown Network Food Pantry by being a drop-off location for all of you local growers; we then deliver your produce to the Food Pantry each week.
Stop by the Library to pick up specially marked row stakes for your garden, and check out the lobby display of gardening books to help you on your way to a green thumb.

In honor of the Folio's visit to NH, we've planned some events illuminating his enduring works.
We hope you'll join us!
Browse the displays this month for some expected, and some books you may find surprising to have been inspired by Shakespeare.
