On behalf of Traci Joy, director of Hartland Public Library and vice president of the Vermont Library Association’s Public Library Section, I would like to invite you to join us on a fun and exciting tour of Upper Valley libraries! Said tour is to take place on Friday, November 15, (yes, short notice, I know, but you know how it is with these Vermont library directors [especially Traci and me], it’s like herding cats! Wait, no, it’s more like having a cat as a comforting, purring companion who can give you a wifi password, reader’s advisory, and sew the stuffing back into your bean bag!)
Anyway, we’re going to kick off the 2024 Upper Valley Library Tour at Fairlee Library at 9:30 a.m. and eventually end up at Weathersfield Proctor at… some point. Here is the order of our visits:
Fairlee Public Library. 221 US-5, Fairlee, VT 05045
Thetford Libraries (Latham Memorial Library), 16 Library Road, Thetford, VT 05074
Norwich Public Library, 368 Main St, Norwich, VT 05055
Hartland Public Library, 153 US-5, Hartland, VT 05048
Windsor Public Library, 43 State St, Windsor, VT 05089
Weathersfield Proctor Library, 5181 US-5, Ascutney, VT 05030
As former vice-president and now president of VLA’s Public Library Section, I’m a veteran of several library tours, and I can tell ya firsthand that it’s an excellent way to meet colleagues, explore libraries, and eat lunch in strange places!
