Biblio-Plus: A new streaming service for Libraries
Our library now subscribes to a new streaming service containing thousands of movies, series, and award-winning documentaries. Biblio-Plus is an app especially designed for libraries, and it can be downloaded on any device. Just download the app and use your library name, card number, and password to log in, as you would with Libby or the Palace app. Call or stop by the library if you need help.
Preschool Story Time
Story Time with Miss Julia will resume on Tuesday, September 3rd at 10:30 at the library. All are welcome to attend.
Palace Project: New e-books and e-audiobooks
Great News!!! In addition to our Green Mountain e-book/e-audiobook library consortium (GMLC or the Libby App), we are now a member of the Palace Project, which will include e-books and e-audiobooks from the Palace App as well as a great new collection from the Vermont Department of Libraries. To access this collection, download the Palace App onto your phone or computer and use your library number and password (same as GMLC/Libby) to log in. Call us at 766-5063 or stop by the library if you need help.
New Login Information for Green Mountain Library Consortium
We have a new login system for GMLC including the Libby and Overdrive apps. The card number is the full number on your library card, and our default password is userpass. The password is only different if you created an account with a different password on our library catalog. Please call the library at 766-5063 with questions or if you need your card information.
Little Free Libraries
We now have two Little Free Libraries registered and on the LFL World map. Located in Scampy's Store in West Charleston and next to the Town Clerk's Office in Morgan, the little libraries are dedicated to former librarian Barbara Whitehill. Please visit them anytime and take a book or leave one-they are fully stocked with both adult and kids' books.
