The Gordon‑Nash Library in New Hampton, NH is a private non‑profit library (established on paper in 1887) that serves a public function—it’s open to all residents, students, and visitors. Its building was completed in 1895 in a Renaissance Revival architectural style, with original designs by the firm Fuller & Delano, and it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The library was founded thanks to a bequest from Judge Stephen Gordon Nash, who donated land, funds for construction, and much of his personal collection of books; the library opened to the public in 1896. In recent years it merged with New Hampton School (as of January 2020) to become a shared‐use facility, continuing its mission to serve both the school community and the wider public.

Ruth Joyce Scholarship Fund
The PTA contributed $100 to help fund the initial grant. Pat, Hope, Sandy, and other grateful parents organized campaigns to supplement their seed money. Michael Drake and Tony Romano received the first scholarships in 1979. In the twenty-nine years since its inception, the Ruth S. Joyce Scholarship Committee has raised and given to local boys more than $64,000.
Such success has not been possible without effort. Most townspeople are familiar with the Ruth S. Joyce Scholarship Food Sales that take place at the Town House during every election. The Committee has tirelessly sponsored these and additional raffles, yard sales, and dinners to increase the amount that can be given in scholarship assistance.
The committee awards Ruth S. Joyce Scholarships to boys who live in New Hampton or on the River Road in Bridgewater and attended the New Hampton Elementary School or the Newfound Middle School, and who are completing secondary school with concrete plans for further education. Such plans may include trade and/or apprenticeship programs, two-year or four-year colleges. Criteria for awarding the scholarships are (1) financial need or hardship; (2) academic achievement; (3) demonstrated leadership; (4) ability to function well with others; (5) pride in school, town, state, and country and (6) perseverance and unselfishness. Applications may be obtained from the Newfound Memorial High School Guidance Office, and the New Hampton Town Office. Applicants may call members of the committee for further information.
As the need for higher education increases and as the cost continues to rise, the Ruth S. Joyce Scholarship Fund can offer critical assistance to young men seeking a successful future. In order to continue its benefits, the present committee now seeks to enlist the support (by donations, memorial gifts and their time) of the past awardees and young families whose children could be the next beneficiaries.
In President Pat Provencher's words, "Your efforts will be repaid in the future of our young people” .
Sincere Thanks
R.S.J.S. Committee
