The library staff  provided materials to Vassar and River Valley Community Colleges for their Thanksgiving displays this year. 

Vassar College's home page features the portrait of Sarah that hangs behind the circulation desk. http://www.vassar.edu/  Sarah was not only instrumental in making Thanksgiving a national holiday, she also convinced the trustees of Vassar College to remove the word "female" from the college's name.

The library loaned two items to River Valley Community College for their Thanksgiving tribute to Sarah Hale.

Library director Andrea Thorpe was the recepient of the Ann Geisel Award for merit. This award is given annually to an organization or individual who has contributed to the New Hampshire Library Association and/or to the New Hampshire library community. Kudos to Andrea!
