HELP US KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE!
The Chesley Memorial Library Board of Trustees adopted policies and procedures to ensure the safe operation of the library throughout the pandemic. The Library Trustees required patrons and staff to wear a mask and social distance well before the implementation of the state-wide mask mandate. Library staff and patrons have adapted graciously to the changes which allow the building to be open safely so our patrons have access to library materials, public computers, printing, copying, faxing, notary service, and tech help.The safety of our staff and patrons continues to be a priority. Despite the expiration of the state-wide mask mandate, the policy and procedures remain in place, including the requirement to wear a mask in the library building. Thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding.

FAMILY EVENT -
MAPLE SUGAR TOUR
Robertson Sugar House - Saturday, March 27th
It’s maple sugaring season in New Hampshire! The start of the maple sugaring season signals the welcome arrival of spring. The nights are still cold, but the days warm up and sap begins to flow through the sugar maple trees.
The Chesley Memorial Library hosted a Maple Sugar Tour at the Robertson Sugar House on Saturday, March 27, at 10:00 a.m. Children and their families learned about the maple sugaring process from Robbie and Sue Robertson.
The Chesley Memorial Library was able to offer the Maple Sugar Tour through a recurring grant from the Robert C. Grano Charitable Fund to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his father’s immigration to the United States on October 28, 1920.
“Joseph Grano Children’s Initiative” programs promote exploration of the natural world, music, art, diverse cultures, adventure travel, and craftsmanship.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT FRONT DOOR
The Chesley Memorial Library is very proud to announce that our application for a Conservation License Plate "Moose Plate" Grant from the Division of Historical Resources has been selected for funding. The grant of $6,491.00 will be used to restore the main entry way to the library.
To begin the restoration process, a French Drain was installed before the bad weather set in. The French drain will keep the water away from the sill beam so that it does not continue to deteriorate and also keep the water from seeping into the basement.
In the spring, the right-hand pilaster will be removed and an exact replica will replace the severely damaged one. Also in the spring, the front door will be removed so the inside of the door can be refinished to its original luster in a warm, dry environment. A new door opener will be added as well as a door sweep.
The Trustees and Library Director would like to thank all of its patrons who helped by sending letters of support. The sincerity of the support letters was noted in the approval process. We love our library, and especially our historical architecture, it is worth preserving.
Thank you to all of our patrons that have been so supportive during our national ordeal with CoVid-19. When we get back to normal, our library will be better than ever.

Children's Book Bins
At some New Hampshire libraries, children are enthusiastically using rolling book bins that display books at their level so they can easily find books of interest.
The Chesley Memorial Library does not have the funds to purchase book bins so the Friends of the Northwood Libraries has organized a fundraiser for this purpose.
Each book bin will cost $515. Donations of any size will help us reach our goal of providing 15 or more bins for the library.
As an added incentive, for each contribution of $100 or more we will place a brass plate on a book bin that the contributor can personalize with up to 3 lines of text. The Chesley Memorial Library has forms for those wishing to personalize a brass plate. All contributions to the Friends of the Northwood Libraries are fully tax deductible.

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUPS
AFTERNOON BOOK DISCUSSION
The Afternoon Book Discussion Group will meet on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 via Webex to discuss "My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me" by Jennifer Teege.
From Amazon: "When Jennifer Teege, a German-Nigerian woman, happens to pluck a library book from the shelf, she has no idea that her life will be irrevocably altered. Recognizing photos of her mother and grandmother in the book, she discovers a horrifying fact: Her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant chillingly depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List - a man known and reviled the world over.Although raised in an orphanage and eventually adopted, Teege had some contact with her biological mother and grandmother as a child. Yet neither revealed that Teege's grandfather was the Nazi "butcher of Plaszów", executed for crimes against humanity in 1946. The more Teege reads about Amon Goeth, the more certain she becomes: If her grandfather met her - a black woman - he would have killed her.
Teege's discovery sends her, at age 38, into a severe depression - and on a quest to unearth and fully comprehend her family's haunted history. Her research takes her to Krakow - to the sites of the Jewish ghetto her grandfather "cleared" in 1943 and the Plaszów concentration camp he then commanded - and back to Israel, where she herself once attended college, learned fluent Hebrew, and formed lasting friendships. Teege struggles to reconnect with her estranged mother, Monika, and to accept that her beloved grandmother once lived in luxury as Amon Goeth's mistress at Plaszów.
Teege's story is cowritten by award-winning journalist Nikola Sellmair, who also contributes a second, interwoven narrative that draws on original interviews with Teege's family and friends and adds historical context. Ultimately Teege's resolute search for the truth leads her, step by step, to the possibility of her own liberation."

The Afternoon Book Discussion Group will meet on Wednesday, June 2, 2021 at 2pm to discuss "Joy fo Beginners" by Erica Bauermeister.
From Amazon: "Having survived a life-threatening illness, Kate celebrates by gathering with six close friends. At an intimate outdoor dinner on a warm September evening, the women challenge Kate to start her new lease on life by going white-water rafting down the Grand Canyon with her daughter. But Kate is reluctant to take the risk.
That is, until her friend Marion proposes a pact: if Kate will face the rapids, each woman will do one thing in the next year that scares her. Kate agrees, with one provision—she didn't get to choose her challenge, so she gets to choose theirs. Whether it's learning to let go of the past or getting a tattoo, each woman’s story interweaves with the others, forming a seamless portrait of the power of female friendships."

EVENING BOOK DISCUSSION
The Evening Book Discussion Group will meet on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 7pm via Webex to discuss "Ask Again, Yes" by Mary Beth Keane.
From Amazon: "Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope, rookie NYPD cops, are neighbors in the suburbs. What happens behind closed doors in both houses - the loneliness of Francis’s wife, Lena, and the instability of Brian’s wife, Anne, sets the stage for the explosive events to come.
In Mary Beth Keane's extraordinary novel, a lifelong friendship and love blossoms between Kate Gleeson and Peter Stanhope, born six months apart. One shocking night their loyalties are divided, and their bond will be tested again and again over the next 30 years. Heartbreaking and redemptive, Ask Again, Yes is a gorgeous and generous portrait of the daily intimacies of marriage and the power of forgiveness."
