Library

Getting into the Charlotte Library has gotten even easier.

September is a busy month at the library. Library card sign-up and emergency preparedness are two reasons why.

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the American Library Association and libraries unite in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.

Journalist and author Anjan Sundaram, who has worked with selectboard member Lewis Mudge in Africa, will speak at the Charlotte Library at noon on this Sunday about his experiences in Central African Republic.

The Charlotte Library is serving as a drop-off spot for flood-relief supplies. Bring donations during library hours, and the library will pass along to the distribution effort.

The library gardens are glorious. Take time to stop and smell the roses (and the other flowers that grow in the pollinator garden) as you walk up to the library porch.

Make Music VT was a wonderful afternoon and evening of entertainment on the library porch.

It’s national great outdoors month — let’s get outside.

Join the Garden Circle volunteers who will tend the educational gardens around the library this year.

Libraries have a responsibility to preserve, to conserve for their communities. From antiques to textiles to natural habitats to landscape design, this month we feature several programs with a specific focus on conservation.

Spring has sprung. The daffodils are up and the garden is emerging from winter’s chill.

We have some new and renewed offerings for April. Our popular knitting night is expanding to include crochet fans and will meet weekly on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. beginning April 5.

As we head into spring, be on the lookout for a few upcoming programs.

March came in like a lion this year, with nearly a foot of snow covering the landscape.

If you missed the article “Love Letter to Libraries” in the New York Times, it is worth a look….

From birds to books, pets to people, February is the month for love.
