Charlotte Public Library Information

If the Charlotte Library does not have the book you want, Interlibrary Loan resources allow us to search for the book statewide. Simply ask the library staff for help. *On April 27, 2009 Martha Reid, State Librarian announced that, as a result of mandated budget and position cuts, the Vermont Department of Libraries' regional libraries will be permanently closed. In addition, four positions within the Department of Libraries have been eliminated. Because space is a challenge and a determinate in the size of collection we offer, we have relied heavily on the regional libraries to fill our interlibrary loan requests. They have provided the materials and paid half of the shipping costs. The minimum amount of postage required for a round trip interlibrary loan is $4.24; many exceed this amount. We will continue to try and fill interlibrary loans but please know that we will be making requests from libraries that have limited staff and hours, and may not have the postage budget necessary to participate fully in the interlibrary loan process. If you are a resident of Charlotte you may want to take advantage of your Homecard privileges by using your library card at any library in Chittenden County with the exception of the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington.
