New website coming!
We are preparing to launch our new website next week. It has been redesigned based on your valuable feedback.
Same URL, fresh new look: moultonboroughlibrary.org
During the August 2024 Community Forum and Survey, many of you asked for enhanced communication and clearer information about the wide range of programs and services we offer. The survey also showed that some of our community members were not aware of our online services, highlighting a need for better awareness.
Our new website is a direct response to this feedback. It's designed to be a more accessible and user-friendly hub, making it easier to find information and discover everything the library has to offer. This launch is a key step toward our strategic goal of enhancing our engagement and communication with the community.
What can you expect to find in our new website?
- a more attractive layout
- easier navigation
- fewer clicks to register for programs and reserve museum passes
- easier readability on your mobile device
Explore the site on your own next week, or join us in guided tours on September 23, 12 to 1 pm, or September 24, 10 am.

PIN / Password for Hoopla and Libby
September 6, 2025
Some patrons are reporting that they are being asked for a PIN when using their Hoopla app. The PIN is your library account password, most often your last name, all in lowercase.
Not Currently a Hoopla or Libby User?
If you are a Moultonborough resident cardholder and are not yet using our downloadable content, do please stop by the library where we will be happy to get you started. If you are a non-resident cardholder, please contact your home library for access to their digital library.
The Moultonborough Public Library offers digital downloads of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and more through 2 mobile apps, Libby and Hoopla, to Moultonborough resident cardholders. The Libby app, once called Overdrive, gives our resident cardholders access to the NH Downloadables Collection. The Hoopla app provides access to books and magazines, but also to TV shows, movies and lots of children’s digital content.
Strategic Plan 2025-2030 Unveiled
We are excited to share with you the library's newly-launched strategic plan and new logo. Both the plan and logo were created based on community feedback gathered over the past year.
Creation of a strategic plan was an endeavour that began a year ago in spring of 2024. A strategic planning committee, made up of staff and trustees, led the effort, which included thoughtful reflections on the library's strengths, opportunities, and areas for growth; a community-wide survey; and the creation of goals and strategies. These goals will help guide the library's operations and services over the next five years. They were created based on the needs and desires expressed by our community in a survey conducted by UNH Survey Center.
Our new logo was created with our community in mind. You will start to see this logo on library materials and prominently on our new website, to launch in the coming months.
See an explanation of each of the elements in the logo here.

Artist of the Month
Renee Hardy
In September, our Artist of the Month is visual artist Renée Hardy.
Renée is a self-taught visual artist from New Hampshire's Lakes Region, where she draws inspiration from the local scenery to create commissioned pet portraits and landscapes using various mediums, including oils, watercolors, and acrylics. Although her full-time job as a publishing production designer at The Graphic Store is highly technical, she finds artistic fulfillment through her fine art and by connecting with people. Renée's work has been recognized with awards for her gouache paintings, and she actively contributes to the local art community by serving as a juror for art exhibits and donating her work and services to local charities like the Lakes Region Humane Society.
