• Processing and covering new books
• Shelving books and shelf reading
• Working at our book sales
• Organizing and cleaning the library
• Keeping the library open on Saturdays
• So much more!

The Friends of Madbury Library receive $5,000 Project Grant

The Friends of Madbury Public Library received an award of a $5,000 Project Grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation - Piscataqua Region. This grant was used to conduct an overall needs assessment and to help with future planning for the Madbury Public Library. The first phase of the project was completed in 2006. 

Library consultant Claudia Morner is worked  with The Friends as they embarked on Phase II of the grant .  The Friends visited many libraries in small New Hampshire towns and held a couple of brainstorming sessions with our consultant.  The Library Program Plan is available at the library and on the web.  Please come to any of the Friends' meetings to learn more about plans for the Library.
