At Your Service

New Hampshire was hit by a devastating ice storm Thursday night and many areas are still without power. On Saturday the Library served as an impromptu shelter for many Dover citizens who sought some warmth and light. We fielded phone calls all day from anxious residents who wanted to make sure we would be open. The Library was jam packed with people using the wireless network, Internet computers, checking out books, re-charging cell phones, and enjoying the film matinee. We even received a phone call from someone in a Midwestern state who hadn't been able to contact her parents and wanted to know if phone lines were down. It was good to see so many people turn to the Library in time of need. We were glad we could help.
