February is Library Lovers’ Month
It's “a month-long celebration of school, public, and private libraries of all types. This is a time for everyone to recognize the value of libraries" Whether you’re a regular through our doors, or haven’t visited in a while, we hope you’ll take some time this month to explore all that we have to offer. There are so many ways to celebrate!
Visit! While your here, pick up a Teen-To-Go craft and spend some time in the teen space.
Join Us! Take some time to enjoy one of the great programs going on this month. We’d love to see you.
Share Your Love for the Library! Leave a comment on a Facebook post, a Google Review, tell a friend about us (they can get a library card, too!), or drop us a note–spread the joy!
Discover Something New! Take advantage of all the library has to offer– go on an adventure through books, learn a new language with Mango Languages, pick up a movie to escape into, request a new graphic novel, download the latest music album from hoopla, and so much more!

Please remember that the Library's weather closings are independent of town & school announcements. When inclement weather requires us to close, we'll post the announcement on our Facebook Page, at goffstownlibrary.com, and we'll inform WMUR.
