  Tax season is here!
We have the forms! 1040 forms and 1040-SR forms (for seniors) that is.  As with last year, the IRS calls the 1040 form a booklet as this “booklet” contains the 1040 form along with schedules 1-3 AND 1040-SR. This is not to be confused with the instruction booklet.  If patrons need any other form besides the 1040 form, we are happy to help print those out at .10 cents/page single sided, or .15 cents per page double sided (schedules, W4s, W9s, etc.).
What is the Chilton Library?

Thursday, March 26th, 5:30 p.m.
In the midst of New Hampshire’s opioid crisis, we are far from the time when addiction was an unfamiliar and even taboo subject.

This talk will explore some of the most common stories about addiction, providing tools for understanding on a narrative and structural level.

This is a New Hampshire Humanities to Go Program
