Chittenden Public Library Services:

OPEN FOR IN-PERSON LIBRARY VISITS BY APPOINTMENT and CURBSIDE PICK-UP

VISITING THE LIBRARY: We are thrilled to offer appointment-based visits for our patrons who miss coming into the library. Please note that your time in the library will look different from past visits and we hope you’ll understand that because of the size of our library, our relationship to our local school, and this ever-changing pandemic, we may need to close the library with very short notice. But, for now, we are happy to invite you to make an appointment for a visit on Tuesdays from 4pm-6pm.

Get started and find out more about booking your library appointment here.

CURBSIDE PICK-UP: Curbside Pick-Up is still the preferred method to borrow library materials. We are HAPPY to talk with you about what books you like and select a bag of materials for you to grab and go. Please note that as of August 1st, our curbside pick up day has changed to Wednesdays between 4pm-6pm.

Find out more about ordering your books for curbside pick-up here.
