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:

 

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!

We owe a big 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 were thrilled to have a therapy dog visit the library this 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 come back soon!


The Friends of the Cobleigh Library are looking for new members! If you are interested in joining or learning more about our non-profit organization that helps support the library through annual fundraisers, volunteer work, and fun community events, then please click here! The Friends also invite anyone interested in joining the group to their next meeting on Tuesday, April 7th at 5 pm. We hope to see you there!
