As Meredith residents, we have established the independent 501(c)(3) Meredith Library Fund. Our mission is to obtain tax-deductible donations, pledges and grants to
provide a philanthropic opportunity to help equip, renovate and expand the Meredith Public Library and reduce taxpayers’ cost for the project.

The campaign launched on February 1, 2019. We are pleased to report pledges are already at $60,000, jump starting our fundraising efforts. We are setting a goal of $1,125,000 for the capital campaign, based on the positive
feedback received from the recent Library Trustees Fundraising Study.

The Meredith Library Fund has received our 501(c)(3) designation letter from the Internal Revenue Service which can be viewed on our website. To learn more about Meredith Library Fund and the different ways to donate, pledge or volunteer, visit our website at  www.meredithlibraryfund.org .

"Get Carded” in September at the Meredith Public Library!
The Meredith Public Library has been challenged by other New Hampshire libraries to see which library can have the highest percentage of new library card holders by the end of September.  It is our goal to get as many people “carded” as possible this month!  Please stop by the library  to get your library card.  All Meredith residents and property tax-payers are eligible for a free card as are all Inter-Lakes students and staff.  Non-residents must pay a small fee of $10.00.  Please bring a
current form of identification with you such as a driver’s license, rental agreement or electric bill.

​As a child, instead of begging to go to the park, or the beach, Kaitlyn wanted to go to the library. A shy child, she found the library helped her balance her love for reading and learning with a chance to interact with other children. As she grew, she became more outgoing and this year was named the Meredith 250th's Youth Ambassador. We are so proud of her and congratulate her on her many accomplishments, including being accepted to Dartmouth College to study biology. "The Meredith Public Library was my home away from home as a child, and I still love it dearly," says Kaitlyn. "It is a part of Meredith that will always stick with me."
