Library cardholders may check out books, magazines, audiobooks, DVDs, games, puzzles, puppets, STEAM activity kits, and more. We are adding new materials to our collections regularly, so let us know if you have a suggestion.

If you are looking for an item that isn't in our collection, we may be able to help you access it. Cardholders can ask a librarian to request books and media from other libraries. Requests can be made at the circulation desk, by calling, emailing frontdesk@chesterfieldlibrary.org, or through this form. Requests typically arrive within one to two weeks if they are available. To browse the New Hampshire Automated Information System (NHAIS) to see if other libraries own an item, click here.

Audiobooks and e-books are both available for cardholders to download through the NH State Library. More information on downloadable books is available here.
