The groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation and restoration of the Peterborough Town Library will be held virtually in early June.
Since groups cannot gather at the library at this time, folks are invited to take photos and short video clips of their family, kids, or even pets or shoot a short 5 to 10 second video on a tablet or cell phone and send it to PTLGroundbreaking@gmail.com. Participants may pose with a shovel, making a toast, dancing, giving a thumbs up, just waving, posing with your favorite book – whatever feels right. These visuals will be compiled and shared with the community as part of the virtual groundbreaking ceremony.
Photos should be sent no later than May 31 to ensure inclusion. The Peterborough Library belongs to the community, and all are encouraged to be involved in this historic celebration!

On Tuesday, the library announced it will begin accepting return materials starting June 1. Patrons will receive an email confirming their items are due. The library has staggered renewal dates to assist with the flow of 2,000 items currently checked out. Items can be returned Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the return bins located outside the new library location. All returned library materials will be quarantined for a minimum of 72 hours.
Starting June 15, the library will begin offering curbside services. Library patrons may place holds as before, by logging in to your account online, searching/browsing the catalog. When holds are ready, patrons will receive an email or phone notification from the library. At that point, you must call the library at (603) 924-8040 to schedule a pickup time.
The library has moved to 1 Jaffrey Road, Unit # 2, for the duration of the construction project.
