Library Update
Resources & Programs for Adults
4/18 - 4/24
Governor Sununu announced at his press conference on April 15th that the state mask mandate will be lifted, effective April 16th. Please remember that the library is governed by our Library Board of Trustees, who have guided our multi-phased reopening plan thus far and hold final authority regarding our next steps.

We ask that you continue wearing masks, sanitizing your hands, and keeping a 6-foot distance while you are in the library building until further notice. Thank you for your continued patience.

Title of the Week

Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think
by Hans Rosling

"Touted by Bill Gates as 'an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world,' Factfulness uses informal language to transform complex statistics into tangibly comprehensible ideas. This information literacy must-read is an amusing yet moving perspective on society and culture."
