Kids, want to give archery a try?  Parks and Rec wants to hear from you!  If there is enough interest, we will do our best to organize a program. Please email your thoughts and contact information to: [email protected] and reference “Archery” in the subject line.

Parks and Rec is looking for volunteers to organize and run crafts and games for our Halloween Trunk or Treat event, time and date to be determined.  Donations of candy are also greatly appreciated.

Are you a talented builder, crafts person or painter? We need your assistance to put together a holiday display. Several volunteers will be needed to assist with events at what we hope will become a new Barnstead holiday tradition. We’re also looking for donations of Christmas decorations such as ornaments, garland, bells, wreaths, lights, etc. to make our display sparkle.

Several enthusiastic people are needed to help organize activities for adults including outing clubs and game night.

Please contact us at [email protected] and reference “Volunteers” or “Donations” in the subject line if you have time or supplies to give.  We’re excited about growing our community, but we need your help to make it happen.

Story Hour Has Started At The Barnstead Library

Story Hour has begun at the Barnstead Library.  Every Wednesday (except when school is not in session, including early release) at 10:00 am we invite you to bring along your little ones and listen to a story or two, do an arts and craft project and have a snack.

This program has been under the direction of Dawn McCartney for many years and is completely run by the volunteer parents and care-givers. Reading, providing snacks and running the arts and crafts is divided up by the volunteers. It has always been extremely successful. A wonderful way for your children and for the adults to meet each other and enjoy some social time.

Parking is behind the library and the Story Hour takes place in the Program Room, usually running about 1 hour.  If you have any questions, please call the library at 269-3900.  And again, please remember, if school is cancelled, or delayed or has an early release day, we do not have Story Hour.  Come and join us on Wednesdays at 10:00 am. See you soon for a morning of shared fun!
