Library Assessment. In 2018, the Town of Center Harbor and the Nichols Library Board of Trustees authorized an assessment of the library building to ascertain its existing condition and plan for its future. The assessment was conducted by Alba Architects LLP of Woodstock, NH. The final report was submitted on February 27, 2019. The report was funded in part by a grant from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. Images taken by Alba of the library’s interior and exterior are available for viewing. Also available are arial images of the library’s exterior.
The Nichols Memorial Library Association. When the Nichols Library opened, the Center Harbor Library Association, which had donated its substantial private collection to the new library, re-constituted itself as the Nichols Memorial Library Association. It managed the Nichols Trust until November 2005, when the Association disbanded and the library became an entity of the Town of Center Harbor.
