The Staff and Board of Trustees welcome you to the Nesmith Library Homepage and to your "new" Nesmith Library building which will be 10 years old on August 28, 2007! The Staff of the Library hopes that this Web Page will increase your awareness of what is available both in the Library and "on the Web" for the Windham Community. And we hope you will come in to see your library facility very soon!

Do you have a Library Card?

Anyone owning property or living in the Town of Windham is eligible for a library card without charge. Just stop by, fill out a simple registration card, and we will make a card for you while you wait (or browse)!

Your Library Card will not expire; every three years we will ask if your address and telephone number have changed, and will update our records if necessary.

A Non-Resident Card is available for $50.00 per year.

Circulation

Books, magazines, music CDs, VHS videos and DVDs, books-on-tape and books on CDs (audio books) may be checked out for two weeks. You may renew these items in person or by telephone up to three times if no one has reserved them. Enjoy over 180 magazines and 18 newspapers in the library's comfortable reading areas. Please note that the most recent issue of each magazine does not circulate until the next issue arrives. This is a common library practice and the library staff appreciates your cooperation.

Reference materials do not circulate, but must be used within the Library.

Fines and Fees

The Library is always more interested in having items returned than charging fines. Overdue notices are sent periodically to encourage return and to reduce patrons' fines.

A fine of 5 cents per day per item is charged on all overdue materials except museum passes and interlibrary loans which have a $1 per day fine.

Replacement costs plus a $3.50 processing fee will be charged for lost or damaged items.

A newsletter which announces upcoming events, and focuses on new and/or interesting items in the Children's Room, Reference area, or elsewhere in the library, is published each month thanks to Joyce Wilt. Read older editions (beginning with December, 2001), as well. Because this newsletter is in a pdf format, if your computer does not have Adobe Reader, download free Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking here:

In case of delayed opening or closing due to inclement weather, check WMUR-TV or WMUR.com for information.

Above all, come in to the Library...and stay awhile!
