Dummerston Community Center
The Town Library moved to the newly formed Community Center in 1996 from it's long term location in the coat room room in the West Dummerston Grange. Previous to that it was housed for many years in the Front room of the residence at 130 West Street.

When I started working as the part-time Lydia Taft Pratt librarian, the library was housed in a coat closet in the West Dummerston Grange. It had around 2,000 uncataloged books. I cataloged all the books on a manual typewriter (yes, on cards!) and eventually moved the collection to its present location in the Dummerston Community Center (formerly the West Dummerston School).
