For the Thanksgiving holiday, the library will be closing early at 12 noon on Wednesday, November 27th, and will be closed on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th. We will be open our usual hours on Saturday, November 30th.
Are you looking for a hotspot, Roku, or American Girl Dolls to borrow from the library? We have these and much more. Ask about Our Library of Things at any service desk. Our puzzles and board games circulate for two weeks and don't incur overdue fines. All other Library of Things items do incur overdue fines, and check-out ranges from one to two weeks.
Please note that all Library of Things must be checked out by an adult card in good standing, with the exception of board games (which may also be checked out by a teen card) and puzzles (which may be checked out by any card). Also not that patrons may be assessed fines for lost or damaged items.
For more information or questions, please contact the Circulation Coordinator at eanderson@ocln.org or call the library during open hours. Select a category to jump to a section.
Board Games are housed in the Children's Room and on the shelf just outside the Teen Room. Puzzles are shelved by the community puzzle table, near the public computers. We have puzzles ranging from 100 to 1000 pieces. From family classics like Scrabble, Uno, and Twister, to Catan, Don't Break the Ice, and Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, there's a mix of games for every kind of player!
Going on a trip in the White Mountains and need a wifi hotspot? Want to try a new show that streams on a platform you don't subscribe to? Planning a big movie night with friends? We've got you covered! Click on an item below to learn more and place a hold. Please note that while electronics may only be picked up at Ventress Memorial Library, anyone with an adult OCLN library card may borrow them.
We have a small collection of other items you can use to explore new hobbies and more. We are growing this collection and will add new items as they come in.
We have so much more than books in our Children's Room. Stop by and browse available things to take home and share with your child. Please note that Kids Library of Things are not able to be placed on hold - items are first come, first served in the library.
