Alton Book Chat, established in 1999, is a library-sponsored book discussion group that meets monthly in the Agnes Thompson Meeting Room (lower-level entrance), Gilman Library, 100 Main St., Alton, NH 03809  

FIRST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH 

The Gilman Library offers new and classic movies to enjoy with complimentary beverages and snacks to go hand in hand.  You will also receive a raffle ticket for coming and have the chance to win that afternoon's movie theme-related prize.

 If  you are visiting the Whimsy Corner at the Gilman Library, with your  grown-up, please ask for your Whimsy Corner Card. You can get a stamp on  the card for each visit (and one on your hand, too if you'd like!).  After ten visits and the card is full and you can pick a free prize, and get a new Whimsy Corner Card.
