New Hampshire Downloadable Books
The library's subscription to NH Downloadable Books provides patrons access to very expensive content, in a very cost-effective manner. This would be impossible for the library to do alone, and without the wide selection of available titles. Patrons can download e-books, audiobooks, and magazines to their computer, tablet, smartphone or Kindle. Download the Libby for Overdrive app from your device’s App Store.
The Libby app will be used and linked directly to your library card. Be aware that if you are not able to download an item, it may be because you have an overdue book on your account,
or your card has expired.

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!

Story Time!
Wednesdays at 10:30 AM
(NO Story Time on October 16th)
Our Story Time is a fun and interactive program that combines read-aloud stories, songs, rhymes, flannel boards, and some dancing!
This Story Time is designed for ages 18 months to 5 years, with babies most welcome!
After the activities, we provide a "Stay and Play" component. This is a great opportunity for children to play and moms/dads to meet and mingle.
While the weather is still fair, join us outside under the shade trees on the north side of the Common.
We will meet inside if the weather does not cooperate!

Read to Charlie!
We have a new 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 Charlie, a registered/certified therapy dog from Therapy Dogs International, Chapter 205.
Children in Grade K-4 who register will have a 20 minute session. Sessions run 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM on the following Thursdays:
Thursday, October 10
Thursday, October 24
Thursday, November 7
Thursday, November 21
Thursday, December 5
Thursday, December 19
If you would like more information, or to register for a session
with Charlie, please call the library, 774-3546.
