Library Access during COVID-19

 We have officially moved into PHASE 7 of our Phased Re-Opening Plan.

Masks are required to come inside to borrow books and use Library Services. M


We continue to offer access to a digital library, curbside delivery, contact-free services, and virtual patron support. 

The library is prepared to move back to earlier service stages if we see the health, safety, and well-being of our staff members and community members would require that action. To provide services, we need to stay safe.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding.

MORE HELP WITH RENT AND UTILITY BILLS
​NH EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
(NHERAP)

FREE HELP SESSIONS FOR TENANTS FACING EVICTION

If you are a NH resident who cannot pay your rent and utility bills due to the COVID -19 pandemic, a new rental assistance program may be able to help.  Apply beginning March 15, 2021 to see if you are eligible.   Apply through your Community Action Partnership (CAP) at www.NHHFA.org/emergency-rental-assistance.
  • Funds can cover current and past due rent, as well as utility and home energy costs for eligible households.
  • This assistance is available retroactive to April 1, 2020 through the date of application, and the applicant may also receive assistance for these same expenses going forward. 
  • Households may receive assistance for a total of 12 months. 
  • Payments will be provided directly to the landlord or utility provider on behalf of the household. Landlords, with the tenant’s permission, may apply for assistance on behalf of their tenant.
  • This program is only for eligible renters and landlords, not homeowners, per federal rules.
 
To be eligible, at least one person in the household:
  • must qualify for unemployment benefits, had their income reduced,
  • have had significant costs, or
  • had other financial hardship due to COVID-19.
  • The household must also be at risk for homelessness and
  • meet certain income requirements. 
 
Full program guidelines and the application information will be available by March 15, 2021 at www.NHHFA.org/emergency-rental-assistance or go directly to the CAP website at https://www.capnh.org/ .
