The Memorial Library
The Memorial Library building is located in Furber Park across the street from the Ocean Park Soda Fountain. It is directed by Penny Gagnon. Current children’s and adult books, as well as newspapers, are available.
The library is open to the public on Monday Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 to 7:00 pm; and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Library is closed Wednesdays and Sundays. Library memberships for families are: $15/season; $10/month; $5/week. Library memberships for OPA members are free. Phone: 934-1853.
The Tails to Read children’s program is at the Library every Tuesday, 5:00 to 6:00 pm, June 26 to August 28. The program is designed to give children the opportunity to read aloud to an attentive, patient, and non-threatening audience—a certified Therapy Dog. Furry friend Gracie will be returning this summer with her human Therapy Partner Carol. Children must sign up at the Library on the Monday before each Tuesday session. Children will have 10 minutes of one-on-one time with Gracie (and her human partner). They should choose a book before their appointment. Improve your reading skills and confidence by reading a tale to someone with a tail! Furry hugs and kisses for all of our readers!
The Story Hour is every Thursday, 4:30 to 5:00 pm, June 28 to August 30. Volunteers from the community read stories to children in the children’s section of the Memorial Library. Volunteer readers are assigned and coordinated by Rosemary Salisbury, (603) 431-4952. Contact the Library for more information, 934-1853.
