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 original public 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 1898, and will continue to for years to come!

Library Gazebo Project

The Etna Library has received a generous donation intended to honor the memory of Pietie Birnie, a longtime resident of Hanover who had a deep love of the Etna Library.

​

The aim of this donation is to enable the library to build a gazebo in Hayes Farm Park, to offer new library experiences as well as to exist for the general enjoyment of Etna residents.​ 

​

​The Etna Library Director and Library Trustees have been working with the donors and with the Town of Hanover on preliminary plans. At this point in our planning, we wanted to reach out to the community to explain this project and to solicit feedback.
