Happy May! All those flowers that the April showers are currently in the process of waking up will be brightening our yards and gardens soon.
When you stop by the library in May, spend some time at the CREATION STATION tracing, drawing, coloring, creating, and painting some spring FLOWERS for a seasonal scene or bouquet.

"The public library requires nothing of its visitors: no purchases, no membership fees, no dress code. You can stay all day, and you don’t have to buy anything. You don’t need money or a library card to access a multitude of on-site resources that includes books, e-books and magazines, job-hunting assistance, computer stations, free Wi-Fi, and much more. And the library will never share or sell your personal data." Excerpt from "HUMANITIES" , published by the National Endowment for the Humanities, written by Jennifer Howard.
Thanks to the NH Library Tech Grant, we have a year-long trial subscription to Ancestry. This is attached to the library ip address, so it's only for use in the building.
