However, there will be a one-day sale, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The sale will be on the Dover Public Library's front lawn and will consist of grab bags for $5. Bags will be available in categories such as non-fiction, mysteries, children's titles, and more. Please support the Friends of the Library by stopping by the sale. Friend's membership information will also be available.

Teens in grades 7-12 are invited to try out our Fall Book Bingo Challenge! Bingo cards will be available in the Teen Loft and at the Circulation Desk. The more you read, the more chances to get a bingo!
Bingo rules: Choose a book to read that fits the theme of an open bingo square (must be a different book for each square). Keep track of the books that you've read on a separate piece of paper. Cross off five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to get a bingo. Each bingo earns a raffle entry, and a full sheet gets an extra five raffle entries (in addition to those earned for bingos)!
Bring your completed bingo card and your book list to the Reference Desk or send a picture to e.fortin@dover.nh.gov by November 30 to be entered into the raffle for a gift card prize!
Challenge runs from September 22 to November 30.
For questions, please e-mail e.fortin@dover.nh.gov or call (603) 516-6050.
Make and take crafts aren’t just for kids anymore - now they’re available for adults, too! Each Grab & Go Craft Kit for adults will include most (if not all) of the materials you will need to create a fun project. The first Grab & Go kit gives you supplies and instructions for creating four Alice in Wonderland wine charms. Its easy to do, and the charms are really cute too.
