FROM OUR PATRONS…

We love the library and appreciate the wonderful classes and programs you put on. We are truly lucky to have such a wonderful resource in our community!  So, thank you for everything!

The programming during the pandemic has been amazing. Thank you.

I recently enjoyed my first PPL programs: Shakespeare, Fiction and Science/Speculative Fiction as well as the embroidery class…. The atmosphere has been so relaxed and cheerful in each one. It feels like a group of friends. That means a lot to me.

I find PPL very responsive to the needs/wishes of the community.

Love having the Portsmouth library as a resource in our community! The staff is absolutely wonderful!!
