Hygge is a Danish word that means coziness and comfort. When it's this cold and snowy outside, it's good to take care of yourself by spending some time relaxing with a good book, puzzle, or other soothing activity and getting cozy. Why fight it? Take a break from your stresses and drop in for some hygge at the library! We provide coffee, cocoa, tea, cookies, puzzles, coloring sheets, games, and a quiet atmosphere. Join us!

Tis surely February, and me thinks this cold night will turn us all to fools and madmen! Fair fellows, we invite you to come inside from the cold and join us in the Macleod room February 28 at 4PM to discuss the tragical King Lear. Worry not if you’ve not joined in the past, as we invite fellows of all ages and knowledge to attend!

Rescheduled until Tuesday, March 7 due to snow

In commemoration of Black History Month, the “A History of Portsmouth NH in 101 Objects” Speaker Series will partner with the Portsmouth Meaningful Conversations group for a unique opportunity to discuss the history of Portsmouth as it relates to Black History.

101 Objects essayists Joanna Kelley and Barbara Ward will join members of the Portsmouth Meaningful Conversations group, which seeks to create a space for deeper conversation, connection, reflection, and action.
