The Rochester Public Library is pleased to announce that in-person browsing appointments will return Wednesday, February 17, 2021.  

“As Covid-19 cases in New Hampshire continue to decline, we feel that it’s once again safe to offer in-person browsing at the Library,” said librarian Marie Lejeune. “We’re excited to safely welcome patrons back into the library.”

Browsing will be appointment only and there will be a limited number of appointments per hour. Daily hours of operation will vary but the library’s website will be updated daily. Curbside pick-up and appointments for computer, copier, Wi-Fi use will continue.
