Meriden Library
22 Bean Road, Meriden, NH

Many Plainfield residents, old and new, have heard stories about the 1953 fire that burned a large portion of Grantham Mountain. Local historian and writer Steve Taylor was a young man at the time and helped fight the fire. He will share his memories of that dramatic event & give his "side" of the story. 

Mondays at 9:30 am in the meeting space!

Mindful Mondays are designed for you to start your week with an intentional pause and practice a meditation exercise with your community. All you need to do is show up, turn your phone off, and be!

If you are a frequent practitioner or have never done meditation, please join us.

This is a drop-in time for you to come with your tech questions.

set up properly to take advantage of all the library has to offer, or to help you get up and running with your
email program, social media, and the like. If we can’t help you, we’ll find an answer or point you in the direction of finding it yourself. We hope you’ll take advantage of this new service. If the time is not right for you, just let us know and we can set up an appointment.
