The end of the school year can be a hectic time in the library. Final overdue notices to students and staff will be sent out the last week of May.

Interlibrary Loan:

Patrons may not be able to find all the books they need in our library. Never fear, the State of Vermont has a wonderful inter-library loan program that allows us to borrow books from other libraries throughout the state. If you cannot find a book you need, please let the librarian know what it is and we will do our best to locate a copy for you. It takes approximately one week to receive the books, so please keep this in mind when placing the request.
