No. In New Hampshire there are laws protecting the confidentiality of each library patron’s records. This law applies to all, regardless of age, so the library record of a child has the same privacy protection under law as an older patron. Because of this, we recommend that you consider carefully before you register your under-age 14 child for his or her own library card. You can take material out for your child on your own card or sign the whole family up for a family card.
We appreciate all offers of help, although our needs for services do fluctuate. Please fill out one of our volunteer applications, on hand at WPL.
You need to have a WPL card to borrow a museum pass. Please see the Museum Pass page for more information.
