What’s New!
The Cobleigh Library has received the most wonderful news and is delighted to share it with everyone in our community. The Manton Foundation has offered the library a grant of $150,000 for the purchase of a new bookmobile. Thanks to them, dreams do come true! The estimated cost of a new bookmobile is $130,000 and the Trustees of the Manton Foundation have approved that the remaining balance be used for future ongoing maintenance of the vehicle. Many thanks to the groups and individuals who offered help with fundraising including the Child Care Network, the Rotary, and the Ladies Auxiliary, the Friends of the Cobleigh, the Vermont Community Foundation, the East Burke Congregational Church, and others.  Please see the bookmobile page for more details.
