While others may think of the seashore or a cozy mountain cabin in summer, I think of the cool refuge of my local library.

| Welcome to Vermont visitors with baked goods! |
Our library is a true third place--not home or work, but another domain: one of learning, peace, gathering, discussion, and enjoyment. Perhaps a local politician is on a listening tour, perhaps it's story hour for some enchanted toddlers. A local author or artist may have some new work on display.

Visit these cherished places often. Better yet--support them. Most libraries have a Friends of the Library that help sponsor events and pay for extra supplies or needed improvements. They raise money too. We have sponsored a classic move night at our local theater, had plant and bake sales, run a trivia contest at a local restaurant.

| Classic movie night, anyone? |
It's all enjoyable and a great place to meet fellow bibliophiles!
