■Epsom Food Pantry is open on Wednesdays from noon to 2 p.m. and Saturday’s from 10 a.m. to noon. No sign up is required and patron information is confidential. Call 734-4006 if you need help. Thanks again to all the generous donations that have been given!
■The Epsom Conservation Commission was unable to set up bag pick up for this year’s Roadside Clean-up, but wants to thank the many people who have already picked up litter or still plan to do so. The road agent cannot pick up the bags you collect, nor can the town coordinate an event that comes with risk. Please check with the BCEP regarding disposal. If you have already done some clean-up or plan to do it, the commission would like to extend a Douglas fir seedling to you and anyone that helped. Email johnparodi@meterocast.net with any questions.
■Webster Park remains open to the public, however the town is currently not taking reservations for any functions for the month of May. The board of selectmen asks that all residents use caution when using the park and playground. The park facilities and playground equipment have not been cleaned or sterilized. Large gatherings are prohibited in the park as long as the COVID-19 executive orders are in effect.
■Patrons of the Epsom Public Library may access and download audiobooks, ebooks and magazines from the New Hampshire State Library at nh.overdrive.com or by using the Libby app. If you have questions or do not know your library card number, please email the library or leave a voicemail. Visit epsomlibrary.com for more information about how to access these services.
■Happy belated birthday to Rose Kimball last week! Happy birthday to Marissa Butterfield, Dot Girard, Michelle May and Liz Taylor this week!
