Where yesterday mingles with today, beneath one roof.
Call us the Hanover Town Library because our Classical Revival building was the public first library for the entire town of Hanover. Or, call us the Etna Library, because of our location and our status as a cornerstone of the Etna community.
No matter which name you choose, we've been connecting people with ideas, entertainment, and one another since 1898, and will continue to for years to come!
Program Highlights
From children's story times to visits from best-selling authors, the Etna Library has unique programming for all ages and interests.

Bug
Safari
Join Susie Spikol, naturalist and author of The Animal Adventurer's Guide, for a late afternoon adventure searching and catching the wild bugs that call the meadow next to the library their home.
Use a sweep net, spy on a flower, sneak up on a butterfly, and stalk the wild crickets and grasshoppers.
You won't want to miss this hands-on chance to get up close with the mini-beasts in our everyday lives!
