The Mary E. Bartlett Memorial Library is the recipient of $1,509 in grant funding thanks to federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the New Hampshire State Library. The grant funds received will support the Mary E. Bartlett Memorial Library's efforts to provide convenient remote access to meetings, book groups, and innovative library programs.

Using these grant funds, the library has purchased a Meeting Owl Pro.  This is a 360 degree camera, mic, and speaker combination that will allow remote participants to see, hear, and communicate with those present in the library. A mobile table and outdoor extension cord will further enhance the ability to share even outdoor events.

If you are interested in accessing or learning more about the library's services please call and speak with a librarian at 603-642-3355, email brentwoodlibrary@comcast.net, or visit the library at 22 Dalton Road, Brentwood, NH.
