Everything is back in its place after the floor refinishing project, and ready for visitors! We had 20-35 visitors per day so far, and the word is just getting out!
Note: we will be re-adjusting visitor hours periodically - thank you for your patience!
In case you have never visited, here are some photos of the upper level (adult and young adult books, magazines, audio book CDs, and DVDs.) We also offer photocopies, printing from email or mobile devices, and scanning.

Our first week of being reopened to walk- in visitors was quite a change of pace for staff after almost 16 months of just glimpses at the door and conversations by phone and email. It was wonderful to see all your smiling faces! Sign our guest book!
We are still asking everyone over 2 yrs old to wear a mask, and sanitize hands. That way everyone of any age can be protected and feel safe, regardless of vaccination status. Thanks for your cooperation!

COVID updates and vaccine info |
|
Current cases of Covid-19 in Warner: 0 active cases, with a total of 203 cases so far, an increase of zero from last two week's newsletters. Keep up the good work!
New Dashboard coming soon on the NH Covid-19 site: vaccination population percentages by NH Town! (Preview: Warner is at 54% fully vaccinated, 60% partially vaccinated' and 21% of our population was under 14 in 2019 so most of them cannot be vaccinated yet.)
Although the state of emergency has expired, NH State Epidemiologist, Dr. Benjamin Chan, noted that the pandemic isn't over. The virus is still surging in much of the world, and cases of the more contagious and serious Delta variant in NH are increasing.
Vaccinations for Covid-19 are FREE, and available for ages 12 and up.
STATE-RUN VACCINATION SITES CLOSED June 30.
The vaccine will still be offered by hospitals, doctor's offices and through local clinics.
CVS locations throughout New Hampshire are vaccinating eligible individuals. Walk-ins will be accepted, depending on availability. But appointments can also be made by registering in advance at CVS.com, through the CVS app, or by calling 800-746-7287. For more information about CVS vaccinations, visit this link.
Vaccinations are also available through Walgreens, with some same-day and walk-in hours available.
Appointments can also be booked through the State system, VINI: vaccines.nh.gov

An Isinglass (Gr. 7-8) nominee
The invasion begins–but not as you’d expect. It begins with rain. Rain that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout–overnight, everywhere. These new plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, and burrow below streets. They bloom–and release toxic pollens. They bloom–and form Venus flytrap-like pods that swallow animals and people. They bloom–everywhere, unstoppable. Or are they? Read more

Library Trustees' Meetings |
|
Library Trustee committees meetings include the Monthly Board Meeting on the third Tuesday of each month (at 6:30 pm, in person now), and various Committee meetings, some that meet monthly, are usually at 6 pm.
On Tuesday May 18, the Library Board of Trustees voted to reopen the library to brief in-person browsing around June 28, 2021, with masks required for now. The decision is based on low levels of local Covid-19 cases, increasing vaccination levels, and waiting for completion of a floor refinishing project which is now completed.
