There will be a second chance to hear and speak about the articles on Monday February 1 at the Planning Board's regular monthly meeting. A link will be posted online on the Warner website under Agendas. warner.nh.us/agenda/
Are you interested in tracking U.S. Legislation and Executive orders? Here is how NH Reference Librarian Rebecca Stockbridge (of Warner) finds the information:
To find the executive orders that Biden has been signing, look at the WhiteHouse.gov site under a page called “Presidential Actions”. Some of the recent executive orders are already listed:
The official executive order documents will be put on the search database and digital repository of the Government Publishing Office: https://www.govinfo.gov/ later.
Click on the “A to Z” box and then click on “E” and that will scroll you down to a list – click on “Executive Orders...” and it will bring you to a search page.
Soon they will have President Biden, Joseph as a Person or President as a search term. Meanwhile, search by selecting “2021” under “Date Published” on the right side of the page.

Warner's MadgeTech company President, Norm Carlson, is working closely with Governor Chris Sununu to transport the COVID-19 vaccine into the state, and monitor distribution according to the Governor’s plan.
MadgeTech’s data loggers accompany vaccine shipments to ensure that the contents stay below a certain temperature for vaccine efficacy. Also, each location that stores the vaccine is monitored with a data logger until the vaccine is used. In addition to helping NH combat the virus, MadgeTech’s data loggers are shipping world-wide for vaccine monitoring.

Sea Legs and Sailing Ships - Come Aboard!
by Roger Robbins
Looking for real adventure? Take yourself back to the days of fighting frigates and colossal men-o'-war when Britannia ruled the waves and fought to-the-death sea battles against the forces of Emperor Napoleon of France.
Patrick O'Brian, in his high-seas adventure series featuring Captain Jack Aubrey, takes his readers on shipboard and makes them feel like part of the crew. Jack Aubrey is a tough commander, smart and aggressive, a man who -as the story goes - learned his fighting licks from the great Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Master and Commander, from the O'Brian series, is a classic sea battle film, starring Russell Crowe.
C.S. Forester has brought the same seafaring era to life through his Horatio Hornblower books. Hornblower's exploits have been captured in the wonderful A&E Hornblower television series featuring Ioan Gruffudd.
Remember, we can borrow titles not in our collection. Just ask!

Tech Tips: Inter-Library Loan |
Some of you may have missed the news that the NH Inter-library Loan (ILL) service restarted in October 2020.
Strict protocols are being followed statewide for quarantining the materials before and after transportation by the State's library van service, which means it usually takes two weeks before you can pick up your requested item.
Be aware that most libraries do not lend items they have owned less than 6 months.
|
|
To request books, audio CDs, DVD videos, magazines or articles:
-
Check our catalog to be sure we don't already own it.
-
Request the book by phone 456-2289, website ILL contact form, or email.

- If it is available, you should get a call to pick up within 2 weeks. Call if not.
- We also welcome suggestions for items to add to our collection.
