Library

More than 80 folks of all ages brought their creativity and carving skills to another successful pumpkin carving at the Charlotte Library.

The Wild Card Wednesday kids made a sign and decorated cupcakes to thank all the folks at Charlotte Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service for the amazing work they do. They met up with a children’s center class at the fire station to express their appreciation in person.

If you are you a first-third grader who enjoys reading and talking about books, you can ride the bus to the Charlotte Library and enjoy an afternoon of book sharing and crafts after school.

From story times to cooking book clubs, from book discussions to selectboard meetings, the Charlotte Library is here as a community resource, meeting place and activity center.

A new story walk, I Am the Storm, has been installed on the Charlotte Library green with the support of the Vermont Department of Libraries.

Summer beckons with the warmer temperatures and blooming gardens. Take advantage of these outdoor-friendly days with some of our kits and equipment.

We sprinkle many special days and dates throughout our year and May is no exception. There are two that stand out with special significance at the library.

From gardening to Green Up Day, from bees to Biodiversity Day, May is the month to dig into gardens.

Through the month of April, participants are being encouraged to swap seeds, plant trees, repair things, count frogs and promote pollinators among other things.

There are all sorts of activities during April to celebrate Earth Month in Charlotte.

Earth Month Ecochallenge, running from April 1-30, is a program focused on environmental and social engagement. During this month, you’re invited to select actions that resonate with your values, committing to them for 30 days to foster and reinforce positive habits.
