April Update from the Library…
Such frustrating times for all of us and we cannot begin to tell you how much we miss your regular visits to Byron G Merrill… The library is closed at least through May 4th and possibly longer. For the latest coronavirus information go to New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
We are using precautions as we duck in and out of the library and my porch is serving as a pick up and drop off area. Returned books are being sanitized and quarantined before being returned to the shelves. We ask that you drop off books you are finished with so that we can take care of them properly and have them ready for others. Please leave books on the bench on my porch – 36 Buffalo Road – with your name.
While you are unable to come into the library, you still have a couple of options for reading material.
You many request books from our library by emailing me at sturbyne@rumneylibrary.org and I will leave books on my porch for you to pick up. If you use Gmail I can forward a list of the books that we have in our collection.
Perhaps you would like a bag (10-12) of picture books for your little ones… If so, Jane jkelso@rumneylibrary.org will put a bag together for you, and I will set it out on my porch.
You may also access books on line from the state library by using your NH Overdrive password. If you need a password or help on how to get started you may contact Jane at jkelso@rumneylibrary.org Rumney is part of a statewide consortium that allows us to download eBooks and audio books. Like a library, copies are limited and you may be placed on a waiting list and will be notified when the download is available. Some titles are always available.
Since we miss our book chats with you at the circulation desk, here is something you can do. We will be posting on Facebook about new books arriving at the library and about books we are reading. Please join right in and tell us about what you have been reading or titles of books you are anxious to read. Let’s have some fun discussion.
We have two reminders of forms that are soon due…
The 2020 Census is required by the Constitution and the United States has counted its population every ten years since 1790. 2020 marks the first time that you can provide your information online, by phone or by mail. 2020census.gov is your best source for responding to the census and finding more information. There are just a few questions concerning who is living in your home as of April 1st and only takes a few minutes.
Another form that is due is the 2020 Inventory of Taxable Property that you should have received in the mail from the town clerk. This form, which we fill out each year, is due back by April 15th.
We, your librarians, are all fine and hope you are too. We continue to post on Facebook so check there for updates… We miss you! Off I go to wash my hands… again!
Susan, Jane, Rachel, and Sheila…
