What’s New at the Library?

Hot off the press! The April edition of our newsletter, The Cobleigh Courier, is out now. Click the icon below to read about several exciting library programs that we will host this month:

We have exciting news to share! The Cobleigh Public Library is proud to announce that we are the recipient of a $10,000 grant, which is part of the Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an American Library Association initiative that provides community engagement and accessibility resources to small and rural libraries to help them better serve people with disabilities. We will have more details to share soon!

To celebrate the purchase of our new electric bookmobile, the Cobleigh Public Library offered members of the community a chance to submit their own designs for the vehicle’s exterior, and we received 26 wonderful pictures and artistic creations. Now, we would love your help selecting the winner! Please use the voting link below to choose your favorite designs. You must have an email address to vote using this online form, otherwise you will need to vote in person. Voting will close at 3 pm on Thursday, April 16th, and then the winning artist will be announced by April 23rd. Good luck to everyone in the contest!

Thank you to the Manton Foundation for awarding the library a $72,000 grant, which allowed us to acquire this all-electric 2025 Chevy BrightDrop 600. We also want to express our gratitude to Caleb Grant of Rural Community Transportation (RCT), for permitting the library to charge and store the new vehicle for free at their facility every night, which will be a huge cost savings in the future. Additionally, thank you to Chuck’s Flooring for recently installing new carpet in the BrightDrop for free, and to Jason Coons and Nutrien Ag Solutions for granting us access to their indoor garage so this work could be completed. Likewise, StoneCrest Properties generously donated $300 to cover the cost of a new bookmobile computer so that our driver, Colleen Lariviere, can check out books to families while on board the vehicle. We really appreciate the support that we have received from these wonderful community partners!

We are very grateful for Lyndonville Ace Hardware, which selected the Cobleigh Public Library as their recipient for the March Round Up Campaign. They generously raised $1,559.54 for the library!

Our Director, Kaitlin Wood, was chosen to participate in a pilot program sponsored by the University of Vermont, which enables the Cobleigh Library to access resources, scholarly articles, and other texts from UVM’s extensive databases and comprehensive digital catalogs. If you have any interest in a particular topic, want assistance with a research project, or wish to have a specific article printed out for you, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or stop by the library, since we are happy to help! This pilot program will continue until March 2027, so you have plenty of time to access some amazing and valuable information. If you have any questions about this pilot program, please send an email to kaitlin@cobleighlibrary.org.

We were thrilled to have a therapy dog visit the library last month. Thank you so much to Sarah Gagne and her dog, Penny Lane (of Therapy Dogs of Vermont) for joining our Book Club and Toddler Story-Time groups. We are excited for them to return once every month!
