Don’t miss this Vermont-original community-building opportunity!
Did you know that a Vermont service is winning national accolades for its community building innovations? Front Porch Forum (FPF) was created in 2006 in Burlington and now more than 21,000 households subscribe across 50 Vermont towns. Now, thanks to the e-Vermont initiative, FPF’s reach is greatly expanded to more parts of the state.
The 2010 edition of Programs for Children, the performers manual for children that we put out every other year, is now available: http://libraries.vermont.gov/sites/libraries/files/cbec/programdirectory10.pdf
Anyone looking for an author to speak, a magician or storyteller to entertain, or a nature expert to teach (among many subjects), should check here for ideas.
We will also have a few hard copy editions available. If you need it in print form, we can send you a copy.
