Van route changes for week of Veterans Day

We’ve worked out a schedule to make a van delivery to every “Wednesday only” library.  Please note that if you normally receive a Wednesday delivery in addition to another delivery day, you will not receive a make-up delivery.

Most of this is straightforward, but there are a lot of Wednesday-only libraries in the North Country, so that region required some juggling.  Please see below.  If you’re not sure which van region your library is in, you can check our directory at https://www.nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/librarians/van-delivery-service.

CAPITAL DISTRICT:  The CD route will run tomorrow (Tuesday Nov. 10).

SOUTHEAST:  Center Strafford, Madbury, New Castle, Hampton Falls, Seabrook, Kensington, Kingston and Fremont will receive delivery Thursday, Nov 12.

SOUTHWEST: Chesterfield and Westmoreland will receive delivery on Friday, Nov. 13.

LAKES REGION: Effingham and Freedom will receive delivery on Friday, Nov 13. 

NORTH COUNTRY: This impacts more than just the Wednesday only libraries. 

For all North Country libraries that receive deliveries on Tuesday and/or Thursday, you will receive a delivery Tuesday Nov 10 but not on Thursday Nov 12. 

On Thursday, Heather will deliver to the Wednesday-only libraries, which are Rumney, Warren, Wentworth, Orford, Piermont, Haverhill, North Haverhill and Woodsville. 

Unfortunately that means we won’t be able to deliver twice this week to a few libraries that receive Tuesday/Thursday deliveries, but we wanted to make sure everyone got a van stop despite the holiday, and this was the best way we could come up with using limited resources.
