I visited this library over two years ago, but forgot to take a photo of the Library's name, so I had to wait until I returned. Some of the photos were taken in the spring of 2016, and the others in early November 2018.
A reference librarian brought me to the historical room, after I requested to see the room for a few minutes. I noticed a difference in the door, and new sign. Apparently, it was decided not to have clear glass on the door, and a room policy needed to be posted outside the room.
The room is rather small. All the holdings were in the cabinets below. At least the blinds were drawn, blocking out the sun. My photos before were quite washed out.
To find out what the library offers for genealogists and researchers, go to their website http://www.londonderrynh.org/Pages/LondonderryNH_LeachLibrary/index, and select Reference Services. At the bottom you will see this listing:

I noticed the above flyer, and the librarian made me a copy, shown below.
Nice place to read or think.
Below are two huge notebooks done by a boy scout troop, I think working on their eagle badge. If you have somebody buried in this cemetery, these volumes are what you want to look at. The draft of this helped me immensely in 2016 (as shown below).
In 2016, the Librarian showed me a binder with enough information, to help me to find the gravestone of Aaron Cutler. To show you what the scouts did, I posted photos below.
I was lucky there was a photo.

A detailed information sheet and photo of this cemetery stone. This person is in Section R, Grave 18.

I found the grave stone without much trouble. Valley Cemetery is large and hilly, and if I didn't have the above work sheets, I wouldn't have found what I wanted to see. One of my favorite posts, My Perfect Research Project documented this, along with other discoveries.
