The Etna Library
The original Hanover Town Library. Located in Etna, NH.
Where yesterday mingles with today, beneath one roof.
Call us the Hanover Town Library because our Classical Revival building was the public first library for the entire town of Hanover. Or, call us the Etna Library, because of our location and our status as a cornerstone of the Etna community.
No matter which name you choose, we've been connecting people with ideas, entertainment, and one another since 1905, and will continue to for years to come!
Program Highlights
From children's story times to visits from best-selling authors, the Etna Library has unique programming for all ages and interests.
Wednesday, April 24 @5:30pm (at Trumbull Hall)
Following my Father's WWII Footsteps in Fila Sneakers
Bill Hammond discusses the journey he took following the route that his father had taken during World War II.
The trip, taken during October of 2023, was a way for Bill to honor his father, to recognize his and his fellow soldiers' sacrifice, and to reinforce a bond with his brothers. This talk will focus on the marvels of the excursion and the serendipity in finding things you believe impossible.
Saturday, May 4 @10am (at the Library)
