Just wanted to share a few photos from our recent community event! 🌻We had about 50 people attend again, and the feedback has been incredibly kind, appreciative, and positive.

Moments like these really show what community building can look like — neighbors connecting, supporting one another, and sharing good energy. 💛

💛 The Varnum Library is more than books—it’s community.
Rose, a longtime Jeffersonville neighbor, once said:
"In the 35 years I’ve lived here, being invited into the library was the greatest connection I’ve ever felt." Her spirit reminds us why the Varnum matters. It’s where toddlers discover stories, teens study, adults connect, and seniors find belonging.

Now, we need your help to keep our 125-year-old library strong. We’ve launched a $30,000 campaign to:
🌊 Protect our building from floods
🌿 Create an outdoor reading space
🏛️ Preserve and maintain our historic library

Every gift, $10, $25, $75, $100, $500, or more—helps us protect the heart of our community.

💝 Donate today: https://givebutter.com/YellowDoor
📍 Or mail to: CCLA, 194 S Vermont 108, Jeffersonville, VT 05464

Together, let’s protect our past and build our future.
