Dear Patrons,
With the recent news of active cases of Covid-19 in Belknap County, the GYRL will be closed effective immediately. At this time we will not be taking phone call check-outs and are asking people to keep their items at home until we reopen so we don’t overwhelm the capabilities of the book drop. We again encourage people to visit our website and check out our Ebooks and Audiobooks! We will be posting daily on our Facebook with fun things to helps everyone stay active, sane and calm! We remind everyone to listen to the experts and to only go into public places for groceries and medical necessities. Take your pup for a walk, start your yard clean up, grab a good book, or start a new workout routine! If we focus on our opportunities instead of our limitations, we can make this a time to remember as one when we bonded together for the safety of ourselves and our neighbors. Thank you, as always, for your support!
The GYRL Staff and Board.

The Annual Giving Tree
The Gilmanton Year-Round Library has become enmeshed in the lives of our residents in a way that we would hope makes it
indispensable. It is not just a random collection of books – it’s become, over the last ten years, not a luxury, but an integral
part of the community. The GYRL has become a valued town partner, providing valuable free tools and resources to help
residents of all ages and backgrounds.
The GYRL, in its continuing efforts to provide and expand quality library resources for our residents, will be encouraging
donations to our annual giving opportunity called The Giving Tree.
The ultimate goal of the Giving Tree is to raise $20,000 to help support the many programs being offered. These services
include programming for children, teens, adults/families and a comprehensive assortment of traditional library offerings. It’s
the GYRL Board’s hope that, leaf by leaf, this goal can be accomplished.
All donors will be honored by having their names placed on the official GYRL Giving Tree Display at the library.
Donors may also choose to remain anonymous.
Donations may be made by major credit cards using the website at www.gyrla.org and clicking on the “donate” icon, or
by check made out to the GYRL. Donations are tax deductible.
The GYRL, being a non-profit public charity relies tremendously on Giving Tree donations to bridge the gap
between town funding and the actual operating costs of the library. By donating to the GYRL, financially or by
volunteerism, you are stating that you value the mission of the work the library is doing, and therefore support it with your
time, energy and contribution.
The Gilmanton Year-Round Library has been proud to serve the community for the past ten years with one distinct purpose
in mind – to provide a positive impact and enhance the quality of life for our neighbors and seasonal guests.
The health of our community, our awareness of our history and our concern for the future, will be strengthened by how well we
support our library.
Thanks to all who can help make this a continuing vibrantasset in our community. GYRLA Board of Directors
