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.

Aging Gracefully
In this talk, Jackson Penfield-Cyr of Upper Valley Integration Therapy will explore how the 'secrets' to aging gracefully exist within the routines of daily life, and how by understanding the biology of being human, we can implement best practices of being healthy, which is the key in determining whether we just add years to our life or we add life to those years.
Wednesday, April 24 @5:30pm (at Trumbull Hall)
Following My Father's WWII Footsteps
