What's Happening @ the Madbury Library

As part of a grant-funded Needs Assessment Project the Friends have drafted a survey which they would like Madbury residents to complete. It is available at the library or you could complete it right here on the web. This is one way in which we are determining the long term needs and goals of the library.
Take a Moment to Complete the Library Survey.

Thank You.

Many thanks to volunteers who cleaned up our yard on April 19th!

C elebrate the Granite State programs ~

All ages are welcome and no sign-up is required.
