Library Open for Computer Use (by Appointment Only)

June 30, 2020

In light of the Governor’s relaxing of more rules and moving into a Safer at Home reopening stage, the library will open up to computer users three days a week by appointment only.

Patrons must call the library at 603-863-3430 to make an appointment on one of the three computers set aside for public use. At the time of their appointment, they must ring the doorbell to the right of the door for admittance and be checked in. Patrons must wear a mask. If they do not have one, we will provide it.

The appointments will be for one hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:30, 1:00 and 2:30 and on Saturdays at 10:30. We will close the library building to clean between the appointments.
