“A library is a house of hope. It’s a place where we all, whatever our situation, can feed our ideas and develop our dreams.” – Doug Wilhelm Dear Library Friends,
As July brings long sunny days, family visits and plenty of opportunities to explore the Mount Washington Valley, remember that your library is here for you in more ways than you might realize. Need a break from the heat? Stop in and enjoy our air-conditioned building as a community cooling station, browse the shelves, connect with neighbors or simply relax for a while. If you or someone you know could use a little extra support, the MWV Farmers Market FREEdge is available at the library to help those experiencing food insecurity take what they need, free of charge.
Summer also means grandchildren are visiting! Before you spend money on new entertainment, take a look at our ever-growing Library of Things, where you'll find toys, puzzles, games, activity kits and so much more to keep young visitors engaged. Looking to venture out? Borrow one of our discounted or free attraction passes, including the extreme weather museum on Mount Washington or enjoy a visit to the White Mountain Museum of Art just down the street. Your library card opens the door to adventures throughout the Valley.
This month's newsletter is packed with even more ways to make the most of summer while supporting your library. From our first-ever Mini Golf Fundraiser to programs for every age and interest, there's something for everyone to enjoy. We hope you'll join us, discover something new and continue making Pope Memorial Library part of your family's summer traditions. We can't wait to see you!
As summer visitors return to the Valley, we’re reminded again how fortunate we are to have a library that serves not only as a resource center, but as a welcoming gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Thank you for being part of this community and for helping make the library such a vibrant and meaningful place. As always, we hope to see you at the library soon and often.
