September Van Delivery News

1. The NH State Library will be closed on Monday, September 1, 2008 in observance of Labor Day. There will be NO VAN DELIVERY on that date. If you are a Monday only stop you may want to make other arrangements with your van driver for a delivery that week.

For a complete list of all of the holidays the State Library is closed, please visit http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html (the van delivery instructions) and scroll down to "NO Van Service".

If for any other reason (e.g. bad weather) van service on a particular route(s) does not operate, libraries will be notified via an e-mail message. If your library does not receive van service on a particular day, please check your e-mail before calling the State Library.

2. Beginning the first week in September, the Tucker Free Library in Henniker will switch their van delivery day from Tuesday to Thursday.

The change will be reflected in the online van directory which can be found at http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/directory.html.
