Current COVID-19 Guidelines

The library still has several guidelines in place for the safety of our visitors. 

Masks Required

Anyone over the age of 6 will be required to wear a face mask to enter the library, and at all times while in the building. That shall not include any person with a medical condition or disability that prevents wearing a mask or other face covering.

Youth Services Browsing Appointments

Capacity is still limited in the Youth Services area and we encourage families to limit the length of their visits.

The library also still suggests families and teens call ahead to reserve a time to access this area but it is not required. Please note, if capacity is reached families and teens may be asked to come back at a later time. Please call the Youth Services desk at 603-766-1740 to make an appointment before coming.

Everyone visiting the Youth Services and teen areas of the library must check in at the Youth Services desk.

Curbside Pickup

For those not comfortable entering the library, we will continue to offer Curbside Pickup on demand  - feel free to call the library at (603) 427-1540 if you have items on hold you’d like to pick up outside.

Not sure what to read next? Ask us for a personalized book bundle!

 

Please note that you may check how many people are currently in the library building - view our current occupancy here!
