for residents and visitors alike.
CANDIA YOUTH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
CYAA would like to thank all the residents and volunteers
for another successful year! Your help has made a facility
that all the residents in the Town of Candia can be proud
of.
 Through
your donations and volunteerism, we have been able to make
improvements in your facility. We have added indoor locker
rooms and bathrooms. We have made bleachers that run all
the way down the basketball court. We have done more paving
outside and installed some outside lighting. We have made
many other improvements to your facility. Our baseball and
soccer fields are looking really good for the upcoming outdoor
seasons. And, we have had a record number of sign-ups in
youth and adult activities, and in some cases, they have
doubled from last year.Through your volunteer efforts and
the CYAA, the Town of Candia is a better place to live.
Numerous parks and recreational areas dot the town and through
careful planning, new features like trails are being added
constantly to enhance the enjoyment of the spectacular landscape
that is Candia!
REPORT OF THE SMYTH PUBLIC LIBRARY
 Smyth
Library marked its first year at the new 55 High Street location
in December. Candia residents visited 14,424 times during
the year, an average of 277 visits per week. 27,498 books
and other materials were borrowed during the year, a 27%
increase over 2002, our last year at the original Smyth Library.
Our copier produced nearly 6000 copies. The meeting room
was used 125 times. Our public internet computers were used
936 times.
We're open up to 38 hours per week; six days a week year-round,
and also on Sunday afternoons during January, February and
March. In the summer, we're a cool place; in winter, enjoy
a book or magazine in front of the warm fire. Year-round
we're a quiet and friendly place to read, think, or study.
The meeting room is available to Candia residents seven
days per week, from 7:00am to 11:00pm. Other library services
include a copier, fax transmissions, two public internet
stations (including word-processing), encyclopedias to take
home, art prints to borrow, books-on-cassette, videos, and
free passes to the Currier Museum and Seacoast Science Center.
Our preschool Storytime is a favorite for 3 to 5 year olds.
The annual noncompetitive Summer Reading Program encourages
year-round reading.
