Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor,
I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude
to everyone involved in bringing Gilmanton the Year Round Library. The
Gilmanton Year Round Library is a wonderful place for everyone. My son loves
to read and it is so expensive to buy new books. We are able to check out
books and DVD’s and even borrow books through the inter-library loan
program.
The library has so much to offer families with small children - with
their story hours and children’s librarian scheduling lots of fun
activities. It is a cozy place to catch up on a good book or check your
email while your children play with the puzzles, read, color a picture or
enjoy any of the other countless activities they have to offer.
I hope everyone can take some time to check out the new library and take
advantage of everything there is available. We love it and we know you will
too!! See you there!
Alicha And Mikey Kingsbury
