To celebrate National Good Neighbor Day on September 28, we are "growing" our rock snake on the front lawn of the library throughout the month. Ms. Stacey has decorated the head, and your job is to decorate your own addition and add it; let's see how long we can grow the Community Rock Snake! (Suggested materials: any old rock(s) of your choosing, acrylic paint, acrylic or polyurethane sealing spray, permanent markers, or anything that won't dissolve in the rain.)
No registration required.

"Borrow" seeds to start your gardens! Located on the third floor, the Seed Library is now available to "check out". The steps are simple: choose what seed varieties you want, fill out the sign-out sheet with your selections, and enjoy!
This project is based on the honor system, so a staff member is not needed to "check out" seeds. When using the Seed Library, take what you need but remember to leave enough for others.
We're also collecting harvested seeds at the end of the summer, so please note that you would like to participate in that when you're filling out the sign-out sheet.
Happy gardening and be sure to use #goffstownlibrary to share your Seed Library bounty!

September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the Goffstown Public Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind everyone about the valuable resources available with a library card. From borrowing books, e-books, and audiobooks, to getting homework help, learning new skills, or attending a book club or story time, a library card helps everyone do more of what they enjoy. All without stretching their budget.
There’s something for everyone at the Goffstown Public Library and signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning for students and their adults. It's elemental, really—everyone should have one!
The Goffstown Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit www.goffstownlibrary.com or call us at 603-497-2102. Better yet, stop in for a visit!
Need to replace your lost library card? During September, we will replace your missing GPL card and waive the replacement fee of $2.00! Stop in and start reading again!
Reasons to Have a Library Card:
If you’re reading this, you probably already have a Goffstown Public Library card, and now during September, we’re asking that you share how fabulous a library card is with your family & friends to get them signed up for one of their own.

National Good Neighbor Day is a national holiday signed into law in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter. Since then, people have been celebrating this holiday in big and small ways around the country.
Stuart Dybek, American author, said, “The public library is where place and possibility meet.” We agree!
A hopeful neighborhood is one where possibilities are the focus, and National Good Neighborhood Day is full of possibilities.
