We recognize one aspect of the importance of trees in this time of climate change—their role in keeping the natural world in balance by reducing carbon in the atmosphere. At the same time, forests are steadily disappearing, mostly due to our appetite for wood products, including wood as fuel, and our clearing them to make room for planting crops

Do you feel that your New Year plans and resolutions have been forgotten in the daily routine? Has the excitement about new habits fizzled? Have plans to incorporate more connection, play, or fun gotten derailed with urgent matters? You aren’t alone. Come join us for a Quarterly Self Check-In.

Join us at the library in the Special Collections Room and be part of our Research Huddle! In sports, a huddle is when the players gather in a circle to strategize, motivate, or celebrate. We think genealogists should do the same!

Guitar Sunday will be hosted at the Portsmouth Public Library, and we are pleased to feature a free performance by Timothy Scott, a seacoast-based classical guitarist and student at the University of New Hampshire.
