Curbside Pickup!!
We are excited to announce that we will be resuming curbside pickup on Monday, June 29th!!!! It will be a little different than how we did it back in March and please read the details below.
 
Curbside Pickup Schedule:
      Monday, Wednesday and Fridays -- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
      Tuesday and Thursday -- 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
 
How Will Curbside Work?
  • Please log in to the Library’s online catalog to reserve items (or give us a call to put in your request).
    • At this time, you may reserve up to 5 items per library card holder. Just 5?!?! Yes, but don’t worry this is just temporary!
    • There will be a tutorial on how to reserve items in our catalog posted to our website shortly, but if you need help just call!
    • There are still over 2,000 items currently checked out (not including what is currently in quarantine) so not only will we be processing reserved items to be checked out, we will also need to process the items coming back.  
  • Once your items are ready to be picked up, you will receive a call, text, or email from us! Please allow 24 hours to process your request and wrap up your goodies!
  • When you arrive at the library, give us a call (603-664-9715) and let us know you are here.
    • If you are unable to call, just give us a friendly beep or two so we can come out and get your name.
  • We will bring out your nicely wrapped items and place them on the table outside the emergency exit door (door facing the parking lot).
    • Please do not exit your vehicle until we are back inside. This way we can make this as contact-free as possible.
  • Circulation receipts with due dates will be inside your package. We hear they make great bookmarks too!
 
Digital Bookshelves
We know many patrons have missed browsing the shelves to see what’s new so we made our new shelves digital! Head on over to the Library’s homepage and look for the new items section. We will be adding to these digital shelves so be sure to check these links often! Each title within the digital shelf is linked directly to our catalog which will make it easier to reserve your item(s).
 
Many thanks to everyone who has returned their items to the outdoor drop box! We have processed and checked in 966 items as of Thursday morning! Don’t forget that items currently checked out are due back by June 30th. Please don’t panic if you’ve returned items and still show as checked out- items are not checked back in until they have been in quarantine for 72 hours.
 
We look forward to seeing everyone again, even if from afar! Another reminder that our 2020 summer reading program starts on July 5th so make sure you register to log your books. Also check the event calendar to sign up for some fun events that are coming up in July and August!
 
As always, please do not hesitate to call the library or email us with any questions or concerns you may have. Please know that we understand that some of our patrons may not be comfortable venturing out to the library so reach out to make arrangements with us!
 
See you all soon!!
Melissa and Staff
 

PS- If you happen to have an abundance of paper bags (think Hannaford To Go bags, or Market Basket paper grocery bags, and Trader Joe’s bags!) we would love to take those off your hands! They can be left next to the outdoor drop box. Thank you so much!
