The Etna Library had a busy summer! We offered 12 special events - everything from a Bicycle Parade to a live reptile program - with a total of 768 attendees joining in on the fun! We also awarded over $1,200 in raffle prizes as part of our Summer Reading Challenges (and made possible by our incredible local business sponsors). Thanks to everyone who included the Etna Library as part of your summer adventures! (And get ready for more fun in fall - pumpkin decorating, the Apple Cider Festival, and our beloved Haunted Story Walk all await)!

The Etna Library has the best backyard ever! Right at the end of our parking lot you’ll find the beautiful, protected hills, fields, and forests of Hayes Farm Park and the King Bird Sanctuary. This space transforms the library’s programming, allowing us to host events in our gazebo, to have our Story Walk with its rotating picture book tales, and to offer nature-themed events like our recent ‘Wild Side of Fairy Tales’ program. Next time you’re at the library make sure you take a stroll, too - you won’t regret it!

The Etna Library will conclude our series of summer events in style, with an Ice Cream Party! Saturday, August 22 at 1pm. Lots of flavors of ice cream, lots of toppings, lots of fun… all for free! Join us for this community celebration of summer, of reading, and (of course) of ice cream!

Did you know that the Etna Library lends TonieBoxes and Tonie figures? We have three of the boxes and dozens and dozens of the figures that you can take home with you! When you place a Tonie figure on top of a TonieBox, it plays songs and tells stories based on that character. TonieBoxes are soft, screenless, and completely portable- very kid friendly! Stop by the library today and start listening!

VINS: Birds are Dinosaurs - Wednesday, July 15, 5pm at Trumbull Hall (195 Etna Rd, Etna, NH, connected to the First Baptist Church building). What did 65 million years of evolution turn the dinosaurs into? Birds! Celebrating the summer reading theme ‘Dinosaurs: Unearth a Story,’ VINS is excited to introduce you to some live birds of prey and learn all about their dinosaur ancestry together. We’ll explore the ways modern birds became masters of the air and understand the immense time scale over which these dinosaur-descendants adapted!
