Check out our post about calendars! We have calendars for sale here at the library that make great gifts and stocking stuffers. All proceeds stay here in Killington and go toward children and family programming.
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.

Are you up for a challenge? The library has a new set of White Mountain Jig Saw Puzzles being processed for check out in the next few weeks. This coming Wednesday, November 10, we will put out one of our new puzzles as a challenge to see if we can put a 1000 piece puzzle in a single day. The challenge goes from noon to 6pm, so stop in and help for a few minutes or a few hours. We'd love to see you!
