Though it will be virtual this time around, we've brought back our Discover DIY classes! Participants will be able to pick up the kits before November 19th. On November 19th at 7pm, participants will be emailed a Zoom link and follow along with Zoe using their kits. 
This months program is all about pumpkin decorations. If you'd like to join us, just give us a call! (603) 642-8333

As we slowly re-open, we're trying to figure out the best ways in which we could host programs. That said, we don't want to push programs that no one is interested in! Please take five minutes to fill out the survey below. Any information you give us is helpful!

Since March, we've been providing consistent curbside services. August 1st, we opened for appointments and it's been going really well! As of September 8th, we will be opening completely. We are, however, limiting the number of people in the library at one time. The limit is 5 patrons. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

​Hi folks,
As you have heard, the Library has put new operating procedures into effect in order to both be available to the public and keep everyone safe.  I think of the Library as a hub of our small town.  The UBS is different, so I've given a great deal of thought as to our practice.
The main objective is to keep all of us protected.  The majority of the USB volunteers are in that over 60 age group, and need to be especially cautious. So: 

• The USB will be closed effective immediately.
• I, Carol Powers, plan to be there off and on organizing and shelving books - no regularly posted hours.  If the lights are on, folks are welcomed to drop off books. Just leave them on the steps and beep the horn.
• If anyone wants books, the Library has my phone number and will give it to the caller who, in turn, will contact me. The Library's phone number is (603) 642-8333. I'm happy to unlock the bookstore, stay in my car while they browse.  We will only be offering the 'fill a bag for $5' option. 
• I've disinfected all areas, and if anyone takes me up on browsing, I'll do it again after they leave. 

We will re-evaluate the situation come April and this website will be updated accordingly.
My best wishes to all of you - please stay healthy and safe!

Carol
