Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and large print to audiobooks and e-books. But there's so much more to the story of libraries!
Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, lectures, and more. The Goffstown Public Library offers a wide array of programs, classes, and resources, including museum passes, online learning, a telescope, and literacy kits.
And libraries play a critical role in the economic vitality of communities by providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for job seekers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs.
If you haven't checked out the Goffstown Public Library lately, you're missing the full story. Stop by for a visit to celebrate National Library Week.
