Maxfield Public Library is offering limited services
Maxfield Public Library Board of Trustees and the Library management team have based all reopening decisions on the New Hampshire Libraries Association’s recommendation in order to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
We currently offer limited services which include no contact pick up, computer use by appointment, and technical services (such as faxing, copying, and scanning) by appointment.
Please continue to check our Facebook page and the following websites for updates about when we plan to fully open the Library again. The decision to re-open the library and what services will be available will be made as Trustees and Library management receive additional guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, the State of New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Libraries Association, and local officials:
* Maxfield Public Library website: www.maxfieldlibrary.com
