Winter Wonderland
Legends about historic New
Hampshire typically omit people
of color, from its colonization
through the 20th century, creating
the impression that this always
has been a ″lily-white″ state. Cunningham recounts some of the
true stories that illustrate NH's
Black history. Celebrate National Black History Month
by coming to this informative program. This program
is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities
Council and the Friends of the Library.

Fundraising Ideas Needed!
The Friends of the Weeks Public Library would
like to add some new ideas to its fundraising
repertoire. Our annual Plant and Bake Sale has
provided the majority of our funds for several
years now. Other recent fundraisers include: raffles for gift baskets, ink cartridge collection/
return, and the selling of candles, honey, jelly
and flowering bulbs.
We’ve even added ways for you to contribute
with no additional costs to you. These two programs, the Shaw’s Rewards program and Charity Blast provide funds to the Friends based on
your purchases at specific merchants. Just by
purchasing your weekly groceries or ordering
items online the Friends receive additional
funds. See the library website for details on both
of these programs.
The money that the Friends of the Library receive is used to pay for museum passes, book
rentals, special library requests, summer library
programs, holiday events and refreshments for
various library programs.
The Friends welcome any fundraising ideas that
you would like to share. We also invite you to
help us in our fundraising efforts, to whatever
extent feels comfortable for you. If you would like
to provide fundraising ideas to the Friends, and/
or inquire about attending a monthly Friends
meeting, please send an email to
weekspl@comcast.net, or call the library at 603436-8548. The next meeting is Monday, January
11 at 7pm. Hope to see you there.
