Market Basket is "strongly recommending" masks for customers, and all employees are required to wear them.
Symptoms in vaccinated people can resemble colds: see the new top reported symptoms covid.joinzoe.com/post/new-top-5-covid-symptoms, with detailed descriptions like this: "Having a headache (usually lasting more than a day) is a very common symptom of COVID-19 for all age groups. On average, around seven in ten adults who are ill with COVID-19 will have a headache. It’s slightly less common in children, affecting around six in ten children. Around 15% of people who were ill with COVID-19 reported a headache as their ONLY symptom."
Town by Town vaccination data: Warner: 62.80% with at least 1 dose; 59.30% fully vaccinated. www.wmur.com/article/covid-19-vaccine-nh-town/37373063. Remember that about 20% are under 12 and therefore ineligible: NY Times vaccination maps for Merrimack County show 98% of people over 65 have been fully vaccinated, 70% of those over 18 yrs old, and 68% over age 12.
To get a COVID -19 vaccine: vaccines.nh.gov or call 211. Vaccinations for Covid-19 are FREE, and available for ages 12 and up.
NH's mobile vaccination van will be at NHTI, Concord's Community College from 2 - 8 PM on August 27th. The van is available upon request for any size group across the State of New Hampshire at no cost. All three types of vaccine are available. www.covid19.nh.gov/request-mobile-vaccination-van
Please consider wearing masks indoors in public to protect the 21% of our population who are under 12 years old who cannot be vaccinated yet, and others.

The story walk needs some help for a few days, so there will not be a story there. Sorry! It needs a bath, and a few of the frames need repairs and/or replacing. Enjoy a walk along the river, search for nature items. Come to the library and borrow one of the backpacks we offer to go exploring!

It was supposed to be just another flight, another escape into a foreign place where she could forget her past, forget her attachments. Until Clara found herself seated next to an alluring boy named Elias Phinn—a boy who seems to know secrets she has barely been able to admit to herself for years.
When her carry-on bag is accidentally switched with Elias’s identical pack, Clara uses the luggage tag to track down her things. At that address she discovers there is not one Elias Phinn, but two: the odd, paranoid, artistic, and often angry Elias she met on the plane, who lives in an imaginary world of his own making called Salem; and the kind... continue reading

Moving to a new high school sucks. Especially a rich-kid private school. With uniforms. But nothing is worse than finding out the first girl you meet is dead. And a klepto.
No one can see or hear Kimberlee except Jeff, so--in hopes of bringing an end to the snarkiest haunting in history--he agrees to help her complete her "unfinished business." But when the enmity between Kimberlee and Jeff's new crush, Sera, manages to continue posthumously, Jeff wonders if he's made the right choice.
Clash meets sass in this uproarious modern-day retelling of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel.
