Women’s History At Gilmanton Corner Library


March is “Women’s History Month” a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society. This year the National Women’s History Project selected the theme “History Is Our Strength,” which highlights achievements by distinguished women in specific fields, from medicine and the environment to art and politics.


Their stories are integral to the fabric of our history and provides essential role models for everyone to face the changes and challenges of the 21st century.


Please stop by the library to see our selection of adult and young reader books on women in history, Wednesdays 3:00-5:00 and Saturdays 10:00-12:00 or call 267-6200 if you would like to reserve or request a book.


The library has these new books: Strategic Moves by Stuart Woods; Legend of the Guardians Collection by Kathryn Lasky; Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff; The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer; and I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore.

 


 

Letter To The Editor
Gilmanton Voters to Decide about Aquifer Protection


To the editor:
Voters in Gilmanton will have the opportunity on March 8 to vote for protection of current and future drinking water resources.   The Gilmanton Conservation Commission urges you to vote yes on Article #3 which would add a new Aquifer Protection Overlay Zone and Ordinance to the Zoning Ordinance.  The Planning Board also recommends adoption of this article.


An aquifer is a geologic formation composed of rock, sand, or gravel that contains significant amounts of potentially recoverable water.  The proposed ordinance is an overlay which applies to the four sand and gravel aquifers in the Town of Gilmanton and to two Wellhead Protection Areas around two existing public water supplies.  The four areas are near Crystal Lake, along a portion of Nighthawk Hollow Brook, upstream of Rocky Pond and a small area near Canaan Road.  The two well areas are around the school well and the well for Crystal Springs.  Maps of these areas are available at the Selectmen’s office in the Academy Building.


The intent of the ordinance is to protect, preserve and maintain existing and potential groundwater supply and groundwater recharge area of known aquifers.  The ordinance accomplishes this by prohibiting such uses as disposal of solid waste (except for brush and stumps), subsurface storage of petroleum products, uncovered storage of road salts, junk and salvage, car washes, gasoline stations, spreading of Class A and B biosolids, etc.  For a complete list, please see the full text of the ordinance which is available at the Selectmen’s office at the Academy Building and online at www.gilmantonnh.org.

 
Please remember to vote March 8, 2011.
Gilmanton Conservation Commission

 


 

Letter To The Editor


To the Editor
Response to the services offered by the Gilmanton Year-Round Library to the people of Gilmanton has truly been extraordinary.  Since the Library opened in September of 2009, more than a thousand cardholders have taken advantage of its services.  In the year 2010 the Library saw nearly 10,000 patron visits, including adults and children; the pace continues into 2011.   Story hours for children, events for all ages, meetings of community groups, special programs, exhibits by local artists and crafts-people, all have contributed to a lively welcoming atmosphere at the Library.


Librarian Claudette Gill and children’s librarian Jenny Stevens have organized the essential activities of the Library.  With their leadership volunteers have contributed some 4000 hours to enable library services.  Volunteers also clean the library each week and keep the grounds in attractive condition.  Many volunteer hours are spent attending Board and committee meetings, planning events and writing grant applications.
Careful management  has enabled the Library to level-fund the budget for 2011, at $70,500.  As a non-profit organization, the Gilmanton Year-Round Library Association manages the library and raises funds to help support ongoing services.  Thanks to several successful events and the generosity of supportive citizens, the Association has raised $23,000 toward the 2011 operating budget..   The Library is asking the Town to appropriate $47,500 to support the Library.


The Gilmanton Year-Round Library is a public library, open to everyone in Town.  The facility, valued at $1.3 million, was built and furnished entirely with private donations.  The public need for and benefit of the Library have been amply demonstrated by the enthusiastic response of townsfolk.


Please support the “Library in the Barn” by attending Town Meeting at the Gilmanton School on March 12 and casting your vote in favor of the Library Article.


The Gilmanton Year-Round Library Board of Directors:  Stan Bean, Anne Kirby, Susannah Chance, Alice Bean, Sue Barr, Carolyn Dickey, Bill Foster, Chris Schlegel, Cindy Hatch, Carol Mitchell, Steve Bedard, Carolyn Baldwin, Alicha Kingsbury.

 

 Betty Ann Abbott, Selectmen’s Representative.
