Governor Sununu has issued a stay-at-home order for NH, and that means the Goffstown Public Library as well. The Library building will be closed until at least Monday, May 4. Up-to-date information will be posted at www.goffstownlibrary.com . During this time, no late fines will be added to your account for overdue items, and patrons can return materials when the Library reopens with no penalty - we have implemented auto-renew so most items will renew until further notice. Staff will be working from home, but if you need assistance with online resources please send us an email at goflib@goffstownlibrary.com , or use the chat service at our website. Please do not call; there will be no one to answer the phone. The library building may be closed, but online availability continues! We've scheduled weekly YouTube live story times & book talks, and lots of great content available in the e-library with your library card. If you have any other questions, please reply to this email or send a message directly to Dianne Hathaway, Library Director, at dianneh@goffstownlibrary.com . Be well.

We are monitoring available information and guidance on COVID-19. For the most up to date information please visit the Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Disease Control websites. For more resources and information: www.goffstownlibrary.com/covid-19 .
