The Chittenden Public Library will be open during Barstow’s December Recess.

Our holiday hours will be as follows:

Parade, Vendors, Fireworks!

How can you help? Help us raise the $2000 needed to once again have fireworks as the finale of Chittenden Day. Simply email us at chittendenpl@gmail.com for more details.

How do I become a vendor? Are you a local business, club, non-profit, or do you have a trade that you want to sell or share? Please contact Dave Smith at 483-2298.

Do you want to be in a parade? We are looking for local clubs and organizations to march in the Chittenden Day Parade, we will even take local politicians. If you are interested in being in our hometown parade, please contact Marilyn Case at 773-6308.

Parade Bike Contest: The Chittenden Public Library will be sponsoring a bike contest for kids, ages preschool-6th grade. Enter a bike in the parade and become eligible for a drawing to win free movie tickets!  Arrive at 4:45 at the Chittenden Town Office building with your decorated bike, to fill out a drawing card, and ride your decorated bike in the parade!

And this happened at the library! Uh Oh! The animals got out of hand at the Stuffed Animal Sleep Over!

It’s back by popular demand, our Stuffed Animal Sleepover Event! You can drop off your stuffed animal anytime between 2-7 pm on Wednesday, July 16th or attend our movie night at 6 pm and leave your stuff animal for the night after the movie.

On Friday, July 11th, we hosted an amazing raptor show, on the front lawn of the school. Our presenters were from the Southern Vermont Natural History Museum and we had an awesome turnout from the community. A special thanks to the VT Department of Libraries, who in part, funded this program with a grant.

Project Micro is sponsored by UVM College of Medicine Microscopy Imaging Center. Project Micro exposes children to the wonders of their microscopic world. It was so nice having them at the library!
