The Sherburne Library is free of charge to all Vermont residents and Killington property taxpayers. There are two types of library cards:
Personal card: a single, confidential account.
Family card: an account shared among family members. Anyone listed on the family card may see what items are checked out on the account or pick up items being held, regardless of who requested them.
Any family member can be on a family card account and have a personal card account. Visitors may purchase a card if they would like to borrow library materials. The fee is $15 for an individual and $25 for a family card.
RB Digital has made downloading audio AND e-books books easier than ever.
After a quick one-time account set-up process users are to checkout and download audio and ebooks via their user friendly application.
Curbside service will continue for the remainder of the summer season. We are currently waiting for protective equipment to arrive (hands free hand sanitizer, shields, etc) and as soon as we are able to safely reopen for both staff and patrons, we will slowly phase in being open to the public a few days each…
Beginning the second week of June, journals will be available for all ages. On Saturday of each week, we will put out a new packet of colorful graphics and writing prompts to help you fill your pages. By the end of the summer, you’ll have a beautiful keepsake! To participate, all you need to do…
The library will begin curbside service the week of May 18. If you would like to place items on reserve for pick up, you’ll need your barcode number to log in to the library catalog. Once there, patrons can place up to two book titles and/or two movie/audio titles on hold for pick up. We…
We’ve looked forward to Spring these many months and with all upcoming holiday activities cancelled due to the pandemic, it’s a hard time for kids. While we are not trying to promote anything other than social distancing, we do know that families sometimes pile in the car to take a drive and get some well…
Along with the state Department of Libraries, we are following the state Dept. of Health advisories. If the outbreak gets severe in Vermont, we expect they will mandate closings of public buildings. Until such time (if it happens), we are doing what we can in keeping with recommendations for public buildings: We are disinfecting all…
Wednesday, March 4, starting at 3:45 we’ll be showing Abominable. Movie plot: Three teenagers must help a Yeti return to his family while avoiding a wealthy man and a zoologist who want him for their own needs. The movie came out in September 2019 and is rated PG. Snacks provided.
Another amazing witch's house from Hansel & Gretel, this time from one of our youngest patrons. Can't wait to see the next project: growing beanstalks! For more info on summer programs, email us at sherburnememorial@gmail.com
One of our favorite patrons showing off her Witch's House from Hansel & Gretel. Our first take home craft of the summer. Next week? Jack & the Beanstalk! If your family would like to sign up for the summer make and take, send us an email to sherburnememorial@gmail.com
You never know who might show up expecting curbside service. We were happy to oblige with two great books from the children's collection. Nice to see a patron leave a smile.

JK Rowling's new fairy tale for kids in lockdown. Enjoy!

Welcome! You’ve arrived at the website of my new story, The Ickabog. I had the idea for The Ickabog a long time ago and read it to my two younger children chapter by chapter each night while I was working on it. However, when the time came to publish it, I decided to put out …
As part of our summer reading program this year, the library is giving out free journals the second week of June. Then each week, we'll be handing out graphics and clipart you can use to decorate your journal and keep track of all the fun stuff you do, read, and dream about this summer! All you need to do is let us know you'd like to participate. We'll set aside a journal for you or for your family and let you know when it's available to pick up. After that, each week we'll put out a new package of ideas and graphics you can use to decorate your pages and give you ideas of what to write about. To reserve your journal, call the library at 422-9765 or send an email to sherburnememorial@gmail.com. It's going to be a great summer!
Stay tuned for Fairy Tale Crafts and projects we'll be packaging and sending out as well! More summer fun from Mrs. Knipes!
Curbside (well, front porch) pick up went well today! Only four stacks of books left. They can be picked up on Thursday from 10-1 or Saturday from 10-1. If you'd like to place a book on reserve for pick up, browse our catalog and send us an email to sherburnememorial@gmail.com with your selections. If you'd like to log in to the catalog, send us and email and we'll send you your username and password to log in, if that's easier for you.
The library will begin offering curbside service on Tuesday, May 19. Patrons can log in to the library catalog with their barcode number and their last name and place books on hold. Staff will notify you when those holds are ready to pick up and we will deliver them to your car if you'll pull up to the front door. We are asking that patrons limit holds to two titles and two DVD's or CD's per person so that no one person overwhelms the system. Once we see how this is going to work, we may be able to increase the number of items checked out. All returns can be placed in the book drop and will be quarantined for 72 hours before re-shelving. We are also asking patrons not to share titles with friends, but to get them back to the library as soon as they've been read so others may check them out.
Curbside service will be available Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10-1. The library will remain closed at this time, but we hope to be able to reopen soon.
If you've never logged in to the catalog, please email us at sherburnememorial@gmail.com so that we can set up your account. We will send you log in information asap.
There are books out on the front porch of the library today until 1pm. Come by if you need something new to read!
