Late July 2022

Librarian's Corner

While in the throes of Summer Reading, it often seems like there’s nothing else; it’s that sort of all-consuming event that makes you forget that the rest of the world is going about its normal routine. In the past, I never did well with trying to read during Summer Reading.

Bookmark Deadline

Don't forget that the deadline to submit your design for this year's bookmark contest is Today! You can drop off your submission at the Library anytime before 1pm today. Winners will be announced during Old Home Week!

A Warm Welcome

The Library is pleased to announce that Christian Essex has been hired as our new Youth Programming Coordinator. He'll be learning his way around during Summer Reading--talk about jumping in head first!--and will be taking over the coordination of all youth programming this Fall. Say hi if you see him around the Library!

Power of the Penny

Canada may have gotten rid of their penny, but ours still has some value! If you have pennies lying around you’d like to get rid of, please consider donating them to the jar on the front desk! At the end of Summer Reading, we’ll total up just how much power the penny has to raise money for the Library!

US pennies only, please. Higher denominations should be put in the pig.

Constituent Services

On Wednesday, July 27th, from 10-11am, the offices of Congressman Pappas's will have someone available at the Library for constituent services.

Mark your Calendars!

The Library will be presenting two special events during Old Home Week. Both are free to the public, and will take place at Freedom Elementary School.

Steve Blunt

Wednesday, August 3, 10-11am

Steve Blunt will present a special ocean-themed program with songs, dance, and more. Geared toward children ages 2-5 and their caregivers, but all are welcome. At the elementary school gym.

Turtles of New Hampshire

Friday, August 5, 3:30-4:45pm

Squam Lakes Science Center will present a program on turtles that live in NH, as well as have some special guests! Geared toward elementary ages, but all ages welcome. Outside at the elementary school. (Rain location in the gym)

Sales-a-comin'

If you'd like to help out at the Friends of the Library Book Sale, we have sign up sheets available on the elevator door where you can sign up to help!

If you'd like to bake something for the bake sale, or there's a sign-up sheet on the front counter. They're also looking for folks to help during the sale.

Summer Reading

Weekly events this summer include Writing Workshop, Preschool Storytime, Game Night, Fun Friday, and Family Movie Night. For more information, see the SRP Weekly Events page on the website.
