[ARCHIVED] Library Card Sign-up Month

Need to replace your lost library card? During September, we will replace your missing GPL card and waive the $2.00 replacement fee. Stop in and start reading again!


It may be small, but a library card packs a mighty punch. 

Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities. With a library card, you can do more than check out books. Take part in engaging programs like book clubs, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures. Access technology, Wi-Fi, streaming media, and cultural events, whether you're a student, job seeker, entrepreneur, or lifelong learner. It’s one card with endless possibilities! 

Today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other.

This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you're diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.

The Goffstown Public Library, along with libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, please visit www.goffstownlibrary.com or call us at 603-497-2102. Better yet, stop in for a visit!

Reasons to Have a Library Card

If you’re reading this, you probably already have a Goffstown Public Library card, and now during September, we’re asking that you share how fabulous a library card is with your family and friends to get them signed up for one of their own.
