Library Week And Earth Day Celebrated At Gilmanton Corner
Library
National Library Week is April 8-14. This year’s theme "You Belong @
Your Library," is especially meaningful as the Gilmanton Corner
Library celebrates its 100 years as a public town library. The
Gilmanton community has done much for the library to show it’s as
much of an asset today as it was in 1912!
Come and see the accomplishments our neighbors have done. And while
you are at the library, purchase a glass ornament to remember this
special occasion!
Earth Day, April 22, is a day to reflect on our planet, our
environment and what we can do to keep them healthy. Senator Gaylord
Nelson worked tirelessly on the state and national level to protect
the environment and was responsible for the first Earth Day in 1970.
The Corner Library will be celebrating Earth Day with crafts,
coloring books and stickers. Now would be a good time to check out
"Cut the Carbon Kit" and find out how energy efficient your
appliances are in your home. Remember to recycle for a better world!
A Reminder:
Summer Hours start May 1st and will be Monday and Thursday 2-8,
Tuesday 2-4, Wednesday and Friday 2-6. For more information call
267-6200.
Letter
While a number of people are calling our town offices to
complain about how terrible our dirt roads are this season, (and
mine was the one the school bus made the paper with and was
impassable without 4-wheel drive) I wanted to publicly thank one of
our road workers.
On a cold, rainy day, Bert had stopped his truck and trailer after
just dumping rock onto Sargent Rd. As he flagged me to go by him, I
was not at all sure my truck would clear his without me sliding off
into the ditch. When he saw my apprehension, this good Samaritan
hopped into the driver’s seat and drove me through to clear road
again. A small gesture maybe, but it meant a lot to me. Thank you,
Bert!

News From The Children’s Room At The Gilmanton Year Round
Library
Everyone
has a story. Come write yours! As part of our National Library Week
Celebration, we are inviting our young patrons to stop in, read
Daniel Kirk’s "Library Mouse" and then write and illustrate their
very own book. We will host a "Meet the Author" story time Thursday,
April 12th from 6 – 7 pm when they can read (or have the
librarian read) their work. Light refreshments will be served.
During the month of April, we are asking for help in decorating our
children’s room for National Poetry Month. Illustrate your favorite
children’s poem and bring it to the Library Barn to be displayed.
Any medium can be used (paints, crayons, markers, clay, etc.) and it
can even be 3-D! Not sure which poem to choose? Check out our
display for inspiration.
Gilmanton Year Round Library News
As the winter ice melts and sunshine returns to our New England
towns, we are ready for a big stretch and a little exploration away
from our winter dens. While our fellow hibernators, such as the
bear, head out to raid bird feeders - we have our share of
excitement to be found right at our local Library.
In celebration of National Library Week (April 8th-14th) Gilmanton
Year Round Library will be introducing four new monthly adult
programs.
For those of us with a love of pen and paper, The Inkwells will be
meeting on the first Thursday of the month at six o’clock. Do you
have an eye for beauty, a need to click, click away? Then sign up
for The Shutterbugs, our photography club, meeting the second
Thursday of every month also at six o’clock. Anyone craving crafts,
but just can’t quite manage them alone? Join us for "Let’s get
Crafty," crafting for the clumsy on the third Tuesday of the month
at six o’clock as well. No talent required! On Friday afternoons, we
would like to invite our parents to After Naptime, it’s Booktime!
Light, easy reading titles for the parents and entertainment for the
little ones during the discussion is provided. This group will meet
at two o’clock.
In addition to these new monthly programs, we also invite all
patrons to enter in our Basket Giveaway. For every item checked out
during the week of April 8th -April 14th your name will be entered
in a drawing to win either a "Night at the Movies" or a "Cozy
Corner" gift basket. This is just a small way we hope to show you
how important your presence and support truly is to the Gilmanton
Year Round Library! Our message during National Library Week is
that, you belong at your library!
We can’t wait for spring to bring us returning patrons and plenty of
new faces!
Any
questions can be directed to Tasha LeRoux via
[email protected] or call
364-2400.
