What's the Right Water Treatment Technology for Your Well Water?
I know this is a touchy subject for many of you, but the NH Department of Environmental Services has information and guidance for treating your well water if it's found to contain common pollutants.
Simply enter your well water test results and learn what's recommended for you.
NHDES recommends private well owners test their well water every three-five years to protect their family's health and home.

Tween Book Group Reads Heartless for August 10th
Page Turners, our book group for tweens in grades 6-8, is reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer for their get-together on Thursday, August 10th @ 2:30PM. The group begins with an after school snack, followed by a discussion of the book, and a short activity.
Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.

Adult Book Group Reads The Boys in the Boat for August 3rd or 9th
It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.
