Attention Kindle Fire Users!
Libby is now available to download from the Amazon Appstore HERE. Going forward, users with Amazon Fire tablets should download Libby directly from the Amazon Appstore instead of manually sideloading the app. Woo hoo!
Additional details:
- The old OverDrive app was removed from the Amazon Appstore in June. Fire tablet users who already have the OverDrive app installed can continue to use it for now, but it is no longer in active development. The OverDrive app will display messaging encouraging those with compatible devices to upgrade to Libby.
-
The web page that hosted OverDrive’s Libby APK instructions will redirect users to the Amazon Appstore to download Libby. Users with OverDrive’s Libby APK on their Fire tablet can continue to use that version. If a user would like to switch to the Amazon Appstore version of the app, they can follow these steps. Note: Users who switch from the APK version to the Amazon Appstore version of Libby may lose their Libby timeline activity, search history, and app customizations. They will not lose their loans, holds, or tags.
- The Kindle Book format remains available to users in the U.S. only.

New Hampshire 1000 Books Before Kindergarten
The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler.
The goal is to read 1,000 books before your little one starts kindergarten- and yes you can repeat books! We know that all kids have favorites! If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read 365 books in a year. By the time they start kindergarten, it's possible to have read 1,825 books together!
Not only will your child benefit from having a larger vocabulary, and more interest in reading, but studies have shown that reading to a child daily is an early indicator of academic success. The bonding time while you read to/with a child is possibly one of the most wonderful benefits!
Do you have questions? Need more logs?
Please call the library!

Read to a Dog!
Why read to a dog? Because dogs are friendly and comfy, judgement-free (no pressure!), and they love the attention of being read to.
Kids will gain more confidence in their reading aloud skills, and enjoy the company of a new friend.
Reading to Dogs is a reading program designed to improve children's reading skills, but also a wonderful opportunity to be with a comfy pet.
Read aloud to Mr. T, a registered/certified therapy dog from Therapy Dogs International, Chapter 205.
Children in Grade K-4 who register will have a 20 minute session.
Mr. T will be here on the following Thursday afternoons, 2:30 PM-4:00PM:
November 30
December 14
If you would like more information please call the library, 774-3546.
Thank you.

Maple--New Hampshire's Medicine of Connection
Presented by Damian Costello
Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 11:00 AM
Upper Town Hall
Few things evoke the identity and values of New Hampshire more than maple syrup. It also bridges the many divisions facing our communities. In this presentation, Damian Costello explores how the practice of maple sugaring connects us to the land, our ancestors, and all that surrounds us. In conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer’s bestselling Braiding Sweetgrass, he suggests that sugar making—which is informed by indigenous wisdom—is a communal medicine of connection that teaches mutual reciprocity with the land.
Thanks to New Hampshire Humanities for making this program possible.
