What’s New at the Library?

Hot off the press! The January 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 are thrilled to announce that the library recently purchased a new electric bookmobile! We owe a huge thank you to the Manton Foundation for awarding the library a $72,000 grant to buy a replacement for our current “Books on Wheels” vehicle, and we are incredibly grateful for their support, since we were able to acquire an all-electric 2025 Chevy BrightDrop 600 from Brattleboro Auto Mall, which gave us a great deal. We also owe a big thank you to Caleb Grant, VPTA Board Chair and Executive Director 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. Without the generosity of the Manton Foundation, Rural Community Transportation, and Brattleboro Auto Mall, none of this would have been possible, and we can’t wait for everyone to see the BrightDrop soon!

Kanopy is available again at the library! The Friends of the Cobleigh Library, our 501(c)(3) organization, generously agreed to cover the cost of this popular streaming service in 2026, so patrons can now watch films through our Kanopy site at https://cobleighlibrary.kanopy.com/, or in the Kanopy app. If you need any assistance logging into your account, please give us a call and we will gladly walk you through it. 

The Cobleigh Library was recently featured in Vermont Magazine regarding our beloved Bookmobile. You can read the awesome article using this link:
We were also featured in an article by The North Star Monthly about our Occasional Book Club! Check it out here: https://www.northstarmonthly.com/features/northeast-kingdom-residents-united-by-reading-groups/article_f4951acf-6d03-488a-a1b5-0b158185e65f.html
We owe a huge thank you to Barbara Bristol and the Vermont Community Foundation for donating $2,500 to the library and another $1,000 for our Bookmobile next year. We are so grateful for this money, which will help us continue to offer valuable services, fun events, and new books in 2026. We really appreciate the support!
