The 2022 summer reading theme Oceans of Possibilities celebrates the ocean with themed programs and activities to support a love of reading and learning. We have an Oceans of Possibilities program for each age group – Adults 17+, Tweens and Teens ages 10-18, and Children preschool ages and up.

Please join us for our 64th year of providing exciting and fun special summer programs for all members of the Goffstown community.

Summer Experience for All Ages

Reading helps young children gain confidence and develop reading and language skills. Set your children up for success – visit the Library this summer! Teens will have a blast with fun in-person events and be motivated to read and discuss literature.

Adults look forward to summer as much as kids do. Summer is a great time to relax and catch up on reading—joining the Summer Experience is an opportunity to have fun, explore new interests, and interact with one another.

Our staff has a great Summer Experience planned for all ages, with many events to be held in our outdoor space, under the tents. Mark your calendars now and get ready for programs like Sky Watch on June 29 at Barnard Park with the NH Astronomical Society, a tour inside the life-size Whalemobile on July 21, Family Game Night and more!
