PROTECT YOUR LIBRARY
Library trustees are authorized to govern the library per RSA 202-A:2, II and RSA 202-A:11, I and to adopt bylaws, rules and regulations. Protect your library from censorship by adopting the policies recommended on our RESOURCES page.
VOLUNTEERS
Best Practices for NH Libraries
"Volunteers are an integral part of many New Hampshire libraries. Besides undertaking tasks to assist librarians with ongoing library activities, volunteers are a major source of community support for libraries at annual Town Meetings and during the budget process."
