What is a library? We think we know what a library is. It’s a building to hold books . . . or is it?

Mark your calendars for upcoming library programs!

  • Holly Perrault will lead another book discussion October 15th at 7:00 p.m. at the library. We’ll be reading On the Black Hill by Bruce Chatwin. Holly is a professor at UNH and the New Hampshire Humanities Council is sponsoring this book group as part of their What is New Hampshire Reading? program. Pick up a copy at the library and join us for another lively and interesting discussion.
  • North Hampton Public Library will be holding another bracelet beading class taught by Ginger Bisplinghoff  October 22, from 3-5 pm. The class is open to ages 12 and older for a cost of $10. All supplies will be provided to make a single spiral bracelet. Sign-up is required along with prepayment. This is the 3rd class Ginger has done, so sign up early to get a spot!

There will be a $5 fee for materials. The library will start taking reservations for the class November 1st. You must commit to the full 9 weeks.
