The history, growth, and quality of the Craftsbury Public Library may be viewed as a reflection of its dedicated librarians. Soon after Ida Dustan was selected librarian she married and left the area. For many years the Library was largely neglected, with books scattered throughout the community. In 1914 Miss Mary Duston became librarian, and with Adelaide recovered many of the books and reorganized and catalogued the collection, coming from the far side of town by horse and buggy from spring through fall twice a week for Library Hours. Working together until Adelaide's death in 1959, they built this collection into a respectable, successful library. Miss Mary Duston then continued the work alone until her retirement in 1976, having served the Library for 62 years--surely a longevity record not only in Vermont, but also perhaps in the nation! Upon her retirement, the Selectmen cited her: "The pay which she then received for her service to the town was only in the happiness she afforded others." Three librarians followed over the ensuing nine years, Genevieve Pike, Betty Goodspeed, and Mary Cramer. They in turn were followed in 1985 by our current librarian, Linda Wells, who has proved to be an enormous asset for the Library and the community. Under her leadership, the Library has experienced dramatic growth in its resources, services provided, registered borrowers, and visitors. In 1988 the Library met the Standards for Public Libraries as set forth by the Vermont Department of Libraries and was reaffirmed in 1995. Linda was joined in 1999 by Assistant Librarian Leslie Rowell, until 2001 when Barbara Strong became the Children's Services Director. Taffy Todd joined the Library as Assistant Librarian in 2003. The Library is now open 26.5 hours per week, up from eight hours. Working with Linda, Barbara, and Taffy are 31 volunteers who cover the main desk, edit the file catalogue, and offer general assistance to users and visitors. Linda's vision eighteen years ago of transforming the Library's principal function of lending books into a critical resource providing a wide variety of programs and services has been realized. The Craftsbury Public Library has become the space, for all our community members to come together for their personal enrichment, education, and relaxation.

The Independence Public Library now offers wireless computer access to the public! Through our FACE the Future program (FACE = Free Access to Computers for Everyone), the Independence Public Library now offers more services and more access to computers and information. You will now be able to check out a notebook computer at the circulation desk and use it in the library. You are also welcome to bring in your personal laptop to the library and connect via our wireless access point to the Internet. Thanks to a grant from the Buchanan County Community Foundation, the library was able to purchase the equipment to make this exciting new step possible. Current library desktop computers are often full with a waiting list of people needing to use them, this combined with limited space in the current facility made us think creatively about how to add more computers without using more space. The funding from the grant will increase computer access for community residents as well as meet the growing need for a free wireless access point in the community. The library is now thrilled to add four notebook computers and a wireless hotspot to our services and offerings. It will be a great boost to go from seven available computers to 11 available computers. What are the stipulations to use them? You must be 13 years or older, have an Independence Public Library card in good standing, and agree to the library's computer usage agreement. Minors must also have a signed parental/guardian form to use the Internet at the library. You will be asked to leave your library card, driver's license or other form of identification at the checkout desk while using a notebook computer in the library. This sounds like a lot, but it's painless, quick, and free! Many of you already have the bases covered. The equipment purchased with the Buchanan County Community Foundation (BCCF) Grant can all be transferred to the new library building when we move, making all of the equipment accessible and functional in the new building as well. The beauty of a free public library is offering a chance for lifelong learning and growth for all, regardless of one's background or income. The Independence Public Library is working to become a center where people can read, relax, learn, compute, problem-solve, and even be entertained. In short, the goal is to become a community center ...With wireless access as an option and a new library around the corner, this goal can be achieved! Come enjoy our new wireless access and take a look at the new building plans while you are here. The library board and library staff look forward to bringing the community more opportunities in the next several years.

The Murrysville Community Library was founded in 1922 by the Murrysville Women's Club. It has grown from an initial collection of 660 books to over 65,000 in 2001. The library has relocated several times, most significantly to the Community Building on Carson Street in 1959 and to its current location on Sardis Road in January 1996.
The Clyde Public Library was established in 1903 as an outgrowth of the school library and was located on the third floor of the old Union School on Vine Street. Because the Clyde community so overwhelmingly responded to the Library, it soon became apparent that the Library needed a building of its own. With a gift of $10,000.00 from public library philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, and matching community support, a beautiful public library built of Sandusky County granite was erected on the corner of West Buckeye and George Streets. To much community anticipation, the Library first opened its doors on October 30, 1906. The Library served Clyde well for nearly 90 years with minor changes here and there to the building. But once again, it became obvious that changes were necessary in order to improve Library service. With community approval, the original building was extensively renovated and expanded to provide handicap accessibility, additional space for users and materials, and to accommodate new computer technology. Re-opening its doors to the public on October 7, 1996, the Library is now prepared to serve the Clyde community for many generations to come.
