Just a quick email to let you know what's happening at the Library today...

BOOK GROUP TODAY!
Yes, we will have our book group meet today at 10:30 am on the computer balcony to discuss "House Girl." Please join us!

LIBRARY CLOSED !
The Library will be closed this afternoon due to heavy snow and uncertain plowing conditions at the library...

Our plow guy quit his job yesterday, mid-contract, effective 2/15. But I am not really sure that he will show up today. And to "add injury to insult" (yes, I mean it this way!), I threw my back out yesterday shoveling.... 

Therefore, the condition of the parking lot and the safety of the ramp & front entrance are dubious.  Sorry!

But if you are really desperate, I will be at the library today between noon and 1 pm if you really, desperately need a book or DVD to survive this snowstorm. Come visit me!

NEW PLOW PERSON NEEDED NOW!
We are in need of an affordable plowing business (or person) who can plow the library parking lot and shovel front entrance & handicap ramp. All by noon. Preferably without reminder phone calls in almost every snowstorm. Any suggestions???

"TOO YOUNG TO RETIRE"
Are you over 50 and concerned about how to spend the many years ahead? Feel you can't afford or don't want a "traditional" retirement and aren't sure about what's next? Could it be time to reorder your priorities?

This 3-session program will be held here at the Library from 6-7:30 pm on Tuesday nights of Feb. 21, Feb. 28 and March 7.  

We appreciate a suggested donation of $50 for individuals and $80 for couples to the Library for this program (negotiable). It's well worth the money and I will certainly take this class!

Please register ahead of time by contacting the Library at 603-356-2961 or via email at andrea@northconwaylibrary.com.  For more information go to the Library's website!

The North Conway Public Library is a privately funded library. 
We look and act like a public library but we receive no public funding- 
no money from the town of Conway, the State of NH, or the federal government. 

We must raise 100% of our operating budget each year.  Hence, we depend on your donations, our corporate sponsors and our fundraising programs! 

Without your support we could not be free and open to the public. Thank you!
