First and foremost, we want to protect both our volunteers and our patrons. So we've set up some new operating procedures:
- Masks will be required. If you do not have one, one will be provided for you.
- Hand sanitizer will also be provided.
- Tables, entry and bathroom door handles will be cleaned repeatedly. The bathroom will be open but use is discouraged.
- We are limiting the building to a total of no more than six guests at one time.
- Donations are still being accepted. We ask that guests directly put their donations into the specified closet for quarantine before being sorted and shelved. Volunteers will assist in donations.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact. The library's phone number is (603) 642-8333 and they will direct all inquiries to the Friends.
We thank you for your cooperation as we navigate this situation together.

The Friends of the East Kingston Public Library is an all volunteer organization with a five-fold mission:
1. To work in cooperation with both the library director and the library trustees, in support of the library.
2. To maintain an association of persons interested in good library service.
3. To assist in development, promotion, and completion of library services, facilities, and programs.
4. To act as liaison between the community and the library.
5. To increase public awareness and stimulate the use of the library’s resources.
All are welcome to join the Friends as a member, and annual dues are only $15, all of which goes to support the library.
The East Kingston Public Library is not just a library – it’s become our community center! In order to maintain and grow this valuable resource, we need folks like you to renew their membership in the Friends for 2014. Member dues and other generous donations allow us to continue offering the many free programs offered at the library, and to purchase items for the library which are not covered by their tax-supported budget. This is especially important during difficult economic times.
To Renew or Sign-Up email the Friends.
The Friends sponsor countless programs for children and adults each year and run the Pound Used Book Shop as well. Volunteers are always needed to help staff the book shop, plan events, organize, and publicize; if you have a little time to spare, please consider giving some of it to the Friends! If you are interested in volunteering at any level, please email the Friends.
The Friends Board of Management meeting will be held in January, April, July and October. Time and place will be announced by email and posted at the library prior to the meetings and are open to all Friends members.
