The need for families in our community is great and we're hoping to make a difference during this season of thanks and celebration.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is in need of new and unwrapped toys and gifts for all ages, but especially TEENS. The toys will then be distributed in our own area for those children and teens in need. A large box is available in the Library foyer

Keep Kids Busy During Vacation Week
|
|
Now is the time to think about visiting a museum during school vacation week to keep the kids engaged and busy! We offer passes to local NH and Boston museums that are wonderful for families anytime. All the passes are provided by the
Friends of the Goffstown Public Library who use the proceeds from their fundraising to provide this valuable service to the community.

Give a Library Gift
Do you struggle with finding the perfect gift for your parents, grandparents or other special people on your list? Think about making a donation to the Library in the name of your family member or loved one, and we'll use that money according to your wishes.
Throughout the year we receive many donations. Sometimes these are memorial gifts, or to celebrate a birthday, other times it's a donation for specific items or books in a favorite subject, and sometimes it's a check with no restrictions. We appreciate all these gifts from the community! In the past, we've purchased genealogy materials, books about history, gardening books in memory of avid gardeners, materials for early literacy and learning, and much more. For Planned Giving, please contact Library Director Dianne Hathaway at 497-2102 or
dianneh@goffstownlibrary.com.
