No. All books and movies should be kept with you and returned only when the library reopens. Can I borrow books and movies? Not at this time. To ensure the safety of our community, materials cannot be circulated. If there is something you'd like to borrow once we re-open, you can put a hold on the item by logging into your account at https://minotsleeper.nhais.bywatersolutions.com/ or call 603-744-3352 or email minotsleeperlibrary@gmail.com. Can I pick up something that is on hold or was ordered through interlibrary loan? Not at this time. We have these books and DVDs safely on hold for you at the library and will give you an opportunity to come in and pick them up once the library re-opens to the public. What if I want to borrow e-books, downloadable audiobooks, digital magazines, and streaming videos, but I don't have a library card? Easy! We can sign you up for a library card over the phone.
