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 1898, and will continue to for years to come!

We'll equip you with flashlights and glowsticks. As you walk up into the fields behind the library, you'll collect candy and have Halloween poems read to you. It's sure to be a spooky good time!

For all ages - this will be spooky but not TOO spooky!
