Open during construction!
Thanks to funding through a competitive grant administered through the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Vermont Department of Libraries, Brooks Memorial Library is undertaking outdoor improvements that will make our spaces more accessible and useful for all.
During construction, the back door to the library will be closed, but there will be some extra parking options closer to the front of the building. This includes two accessible spaces in the parking lot just south of the American Legion lot, and six spaces along the Municipal Center driveway (see map below). There will still be parking options in the Municipal lot behind the library, and the Field to Fork tool cottage will be open for the season on May 1.
Thanks for your patience during construction.
