Do you need to have a document notarized? We can help! Director Kaitlin Wood recently became an authorized notary in the state of Vermont, and she is happy to provide this service for free to anyone who needs it. We provide several other services at the library as well, such as scanning, faxing, printing, copying, and more!

Thank you so much to local author Garret Keizer for putting on a wonderful book reading at our library last Thursday! We had a fantastic turnout (nearly 50 people) and everyone enjoyed listening to passages from Keizer’s newest release. We are also grateful for Kim Crady-Smith of Green Mountain Books & Prints for cosponsoring this terrific event with us. We are excited to collaborate again this month on August 25th when local author Tammy Greenwood does a book signing at the library!

The Cobleigh Public Library made the news! On June 16th, reporter Lizzie Jensen of WCAX aired a story about our brand new mobile library, also known as the Edie Bell-Brown Bookmobile! It was a very cool experience for our staff, and if you haven’t had a chance to see it, the video link is below.
Our Library Director, Kaitlin Wood, was also interviewed by Jeff Garfield of Magic 97.7 on the morning radio broadcast of June 17th. They discussed how the library offers many valuable services and fun events for people of all ages in the community. Thank you, Jeff, for this wonderful opportunity!

Check Out Our New Electric Mobile Library!

We are excited to share that our new bookmobile — also known as the Edie Bell-Brown Bookmobile, which we named after one our past beloved patrons — is officially finished! We picked it up at the end of May from Great Big Graphics (a company that wraps vehicles) in Johnson, Vermont. They did a fantastic job! For those who are interested in seeing the vehicle up close in person, the library will host a Bookmobile launch party on June 19th at 4 pm during the first Family Fun Friday and Summer Reading Program kickoff. We also have plenty of free books & other fun bookmobile-related items to give away to families.

We are excited to share that the Cobleigh Public Library has launched a brand-new website, our first major update since 2008.

A lot has changed since then! The new site has a fresh look, an updated logo, an added news section, and is now mobile-friendly, which makes it easier to find library information from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Cobleigh Library Website back in 2008

Cobleigh Library Website back in 2008, when we were offering the latest in audiobook technology & MP3 players on loan to our patrons!

This project is also a special full-circle moment for us. The old Cobleigh Library platform was first built in 2008 by the same person who has kindly hosted our website for free all these years. Now, nearly two decades later, they have created this new version as well, entirely through the donation of their time. We are so thankful for that continued support and generosity! Community libraries depend on people who give their time, talent, and care to help keep local resources strong, and this website is a perfect example of that spirit.

We hope the new site allows patrons, families, visitors, and neighbors to stay connected with our library services, events, updates, and news.

Take a look around, explore the new pages, and check back often for the latest from Cobleigh Public Library.
