  • The laptop may be used in the library space, the library will not loan out any other equipment like headphones (you must use headphones for sound), chargers, etc. Please remember to bring your own.

Can I use the restroom?

Yes, you may use them but understand that we do not have the staff to sanitize after every use.

Can I Browse the Shelves?

  • Yes we are allowing library visitors to browse books (or other library materials).

Returning Materials

  • Please return all items in the drop box outside the door or inside during library hours.

  • Curbside Pickup

  • The library offers curbside pickup. Here’s how it works:

  • You will place holds as before, by logging into the library catalog online, nelsonlibrary.org, searching/browsing the catalog.

  • When your holds are ready, you will receive an email or phone notification from the library.

  • At that point, you may call the library at (603) 847-3214 to schedule a pickup day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday.

  • Items will be placed in front of the library entrance, in bags labeled with your name. Items will already be checked out to you – so feel free to take your bag and go! This is a no-contact service, meaning that staff will not be outdoors.

     Can I request items from other libraries? YES Inter-library loan is available at this time.

How Long Will You Offer This Service?

  • Until further notice. Since our service levels are determined based on a number of public health factors, we do not know when our services, or our hours, will change. Please check our website at nelsonlibrary.org for updates.

  • Rest assured that the library staff and trustees look forward to serving you further in the future!
