Poem on a Postcard: Cathy Eastburn – April is national poetry month and each year the library prints postcards with a local artist’s work and offers them free of charge (and stamps!) to send a “poem on a postcard” to friends and family. This year we are honored to feature local photographer Cathy Eastburn. Her photograph was chosen by her friends and family members in her honor.

Bat Program with Jesse Mohr, Wildlife Biologist from Native Geographic. May 13 @ 6:30 p.m. Due to threats like loss of habitat, white-nose syndrome, and human activities, all of New Hampshire’s eight bat species are currently listed as Endangered, Threatened, or as a Species of Special Concern. Landowners, town commissioners, land managers, and other conservation-minded individuals can help to conserve and enhance bat habitat. This talk will cover NH’s bat species and their ecology, with special reference to known bat occurrences and habitats in and around Orford. The talk will also cover voluntary practices to protect and enhance bat habitat.
