The New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library is committed to educating, engaging, and empowering the campus community through innovative civic education programs.

The Institute's Bookmark Series features prominent authors, whose works address political, social and community issues.

The Kevin B. Harrington Student Ambassador Program is a unique opportunity for Saint Anselm College students of any major to be involved in supporting the Institute's various events and activities.

In March of 2010, the New Hampshire Political Library merged with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics to join forces behind shared missions. The Institute upholds the Library’s role in increasing civic engagement in the democratic process by promoting and preserving the state's unique political traditions and passing them on to future generations. Many of these traditions include opportunities for voters and community leaders to meet presidential candidates ahead of New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary.

The Institute's Speaker Series features speakers of national and international significance, and attracts citizens from throughout the region.
