Lee Public Library News and Events
Ancestry Library Now Available
Want to dig into your family history? The Library recently subscribed to Ancestry Library, an online genealogy database containing census, birth, marriage, death, immigration and travel records. Ancestry Library also features newspaper articles, historical stories, photos, maps and more. Ancestry Library includes records from the United States, Canada, the U.K. and other countries. This database is available for in-library use only.

A volunteer is available by appointment to assist patrons who would like help getting started on Ancestry Library or who may have a specific genealogy question.  Please call the library to schedule an appointment.

IRS Tax Forms Available Soon
The Library will have a limited supply of some IRS tax forms available for distribution by mid-February.  The delay in receiving the forms is due to the mid-December tax law changes enacted by Congress and signed by President Obama.  The IRS needs time to reprogram their processing systems to include these changes.  

The library anticipates that once available, our limited supply of forms and publications may run out before the end of the tax filing period.  If so, there are several ways to get the forms and publications you may need to file your taxes:

  • Online at www. irs.gov.  Please note that if you choose to print out forms and publications at the Library, the fee is 10¢ per page.
  • By phone at 1-800-829-3876
  • Through IRS FREE FILE, available at www.irs.gov.  IRS FREE FILE provides options for free brand-name tax software or online fillable forms plus free electronic filing for taxpayers who make less than $58.000 per year.

Video Competition for Teens
New Hampshire teen filmmakers have a new opportunity to showcase their creativity and have their ideas heard. The Young Adult Librarians of New Hampshire announce the “You Are Here” Teen Video Challenge 2011, part of a national competition to create short public service announcements that promote reading and public libraries.

Teens are asked to create 30- to 90-second videos promoting their library’s summer reading program, centered on the slogan “You Are Here,” a theme that conveys the idea of teens as part of a diverse country and world where all are unique and important.

Entries must encourage using public libraries to learn about ourselves, the world and the fun of reading. They may be in English, Spanish or use music as their only sound. Deadline to enter is March 7, 2011.

Videos will be judged on: creativity, message clarity and relevance, motivation and inspiration, and overall impact. Participants must be 13-18 and legal residents of New Hampshire. They may work on their own or as a team.

New Hampshire’s top entry will be awarded $250, with the filmmaker’s library receiving $100. The winning video will join other state winners as official national Collaborative Summer Library Program 2011 Teen Video champions and be used to promote summer reading across the United States.
