There is a $5 deposit required to check out the cards which is refundable upon return.
Library News
Another update in our children’s area is the purchase and installation of book bins. Book bins make it easier to browse the picture books. This helps to make the library experience more fun and also increases circulation resulting in fewer “forgotten” picture books!
Museum and Park Passes
We have summer passes for Vermont State Parks available for check out. Each pass allows free entry into any state park day use area for one vehicle with up to 8 people. Passes can be used from 10 A.M. to sunset. We have a pass for free entry into any Vermont Historic Site for up to 8 people in one vehicle. An ECHO Museum pass is also available for check out. This pass allows Brainerd Memorial Library patrons reduced admission: $4 dollars for up to 4 people. These passes are very popular, especially during the summer so calling ahead to reserve is a good idea.
Have you seen the beautiful children’s room chairs?
These adorable children’s chairs have been sponsored by friends and neighbors of the library in memory and/or in honor of family members and loved ones. These vintage chairs have been beautifully painted by the very talented folks at Idle Time Crafts in Norton, Vermont. If you are interested in sponsoring a chair, we have just a few available. Please call Liz Sargent at (802) 748-1456 for more details.
In memory of Ann Langmaid.
