Library Services Update

The Library may be closed, but your access is still open! Your Librarians are hard at work curating new content and planning virtual programs to sate your intellectual curiosity.

Keep reading for info on this week's newly curated content and updates to existing services. Have questions about these or other services, need a library card, or just need to connect? Don't hesitate to reach out!

Remember that overdue fines will continue to be waived until further notice and that our 3 book drops (2 in the Library parking lot; 1 at the fire station on Naticook Road) are open for returns. Library kits should be returned by calling the library at 603-424-5021 (ext 101 or 102) during our operating hours.
Interlibrary Loan Update

Our interlibrary loan (ILL) service will resume in September! If we, or any other GMILCS libraries, do not have an item you are searching for, we can likely borrow a copy from another library within the US via ILL.

ILL requests filled by other New Hampshire libraries will again be offered at no cost! Out-of-state requests will incur a $3 fee to cover return postage.

Title of the Week

Midnight Sun
by Stephenie Meyer

"I loved this book! The Twilight Saga is one of my absolute favorite series, and this new addition was fantastic. Reading Twilight from Edward’s perspective lent a depth of understanding to characters and situations that was not present in Bella's perspective."
