Kick off Pride Month with a FREE concert by the Seacoast Q***r Choir that is sure to have you dancing in the aisle!

Dover Public Library welcomes back the Seacoast Q***r Choir to the Dover City Hall Auditorium on Friday, June 5 at 7 PM for a Q***r Pop Spectacular.

Directed by Maggie O’Neill, the show will feature songs by Corook, Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Queen, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Sam Smith and many others. There will be a little something for everyone!

Admission is free and any donations received will go to benefit Red’s Good Vibes, a nonprofit food truck offering free community meals.

The Dover Public Library supports lifelong engagement in reading, discovering, learning, and creating, and delivers what we call “Solutions and Delight” to the community.

I love a good movie, but nothing will ever beat the experience you get reading a book!

Be sure to join us tomorrow at Otto Pizza in Dover for our Pizza & Pages Party! Library staff will be there to register folks for new library cards, and if you sign up for a card you'll receive a free small pizza! We'll also have take and make crafts available while supplies last and will be having a book swap for all ages. Good food and books- what's not to love? 🍕📖

Rachel liked "How to Sell a Haunted House" by Grady Hendrix.

"This book had such vivid scene setting, it was like I was seeing the horror movie in my head as I read," she said. "Scary in the best ways!"

About this book: Forced to return to the small Southern town where she grew up to sell her late parents’ house, Louise discovers that her and her brother’s old grudges pale in comparison to the terror that still lurks within its walls.
