Our Mission
Our purpose is to be more than books. We advocate for literacy and a love of knowledge while strengthening community relationships through education, collaboration and connection. We offer safe, welcoming spaces for all, diverse resources, creative programming and beneficial services
Our Vision
Pope Memorial Library will be recognized as a dynamic center of information and inspirational learning. We will embrace innovation to serve the increasingly diverse community of the Mt.Washington Valley. We will be mindful stewards of our financial and physical resources.
.
The Pope Memorial Library is named after Mr. Lyman Pope, our very generous benefactor, who gifted the library $3 million to renovate and expand our historic building in North Conway Village.
The library broke ground in the fall of 2019 and undertook the bulk of construction during the pandemic, which made it easier to keep the building closed to visitors. In 2022 the new building had the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Pope Memorial Library is a privately funded, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We receive no regular funds from the Town of Conway, the State of New Hampshire, or the federal government. Our major sources of income are donations, fundraisers, and bequests. However, the North Conway Water Precinct membership votes to raise and appropriate $10,000 each year for the purpose of supporting our programs. Thank you, NCWP!
We appreciate the support of our community. Please consider including the Pope Memorial Library in your charitable donations or estate planning. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! Contributions are fully tax-deductible within the limits of state and federal law.
