September is Library Card Sign-up Month! Goffstown Public Library cards are available FREE to Goffstown residents, non-residents employed in Goffstown, & non-resident students of Goffstown schools. See the Library Card Requirements chart.
If you love the Library as much as we think you do, we’re asking that you share how fabulous a library card is with your family & friends to get them signed up for one of their own.

For students, a library card can be one of their most valuable resources for the upcoming year, and every year after. Having a library card allows users to access the more than 2 million items in our state’s libraries’ collections. If our library does not own a particular item, it can be requested from another library in our consortium of 12 libraries or anywhere in the state. Visit www.goffstownlibrary.com to see what's available.
Keep reading to find out how great it is to have a library card!
