A Very Big Thank You!
The Gilmanton Corner Library appreciates the overwhelming response to
our fundraiser to build our badly needed bookshelves to house our
collections. We want to thank our most generous donors, including our
business friends Pike Industries, Timberhawk Carpentry and Hempel
Construction. Together we have raised $2,475. towards our $4000. goal.
We will continue updating you on our progress throughout the summer. We
invite our returning summer neighbors to stop by and learn about our
fundraiser and see the “new” look of the library. For those who have not had
an opportunity to donate, please send a check marked “bookshelves” to the
Gilmanton Corner Public Library, P.O. Box 504, Gilmanton, N.H. 03237.
Again, thank you for your donations. Please stop by the library and see
the results of your continuing support.
