Happy Spring! It’s time to celebrate National Library Week (April 3-9). This year’s theme is Connect With Your Library. The Friends of the Gale Library continue to hold their ongoing fundraiser featuring customized Book Bags for only $16.00. The bags have a printed photograph of the Library designed by a Newton NH artist who had previously served on the Library’s Board of Trustees. The bags are beautiful and sturdy to hold many books and treasures. We welcome you to stop by and join us as we celebrate this special time!
Why do you love the library? We want to know!
The Gale Library is feeling the love! We want to know what about the library you like best. Located near the circulation desk is a big heart that reads “I love my library because…” and we want to hear your reasons why! Come on in write a little note telling everyone what your favorite thing about the library is and we’ll post it up. We’ll have the display up throughout the month of April.
