"We love NPL! As a homeschooling family, this library has been an invaluable resource to us. The staff in the Children’s Room are always so helpful to me and my children when we are looking for something in particular or just wanting resources for learning something new. I also love that we can search, reserve, and renew books online. Library day is one of our favorite days!"

"There is a wide selection of current books. It is my "go to" for past and present books. They have obtained books, unavailable locally, for me through the NH libraries assoc. Always helpful and pleasant. We have attended many movies, author presentations and musical events here, at no admission charge. I couldn't be prouder of our city library."
