Jen Linck is a trustee of the Craftsbury Public Library and has been the Craftsbury Schools' librarian for 15 years. She wanted to be an archaeologist but got sidetracked working at Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House, The Concord Museum and the Old Stone House Museum. Her first visit to the Hitchcock was more than 20 years ago, and she is very excited to begin caring for and sharing its collections. Open hours will remain Tues 10-3, Thurs 1-6, Sat 10-2 and Sun 11-3. Please stop by and introduce yourselves!

Don’t forget to stop by on Saturday next week! We’ll be closed on Sunday, April 5.

SPRING - it's around the corner...and that means the Hitchcock's Seed Library is now OPEN FOR BUSINESS! 🥦🫛🥬 🍅🌶️🫑

Stop by the library and take free seeds for your garden- just make sure to fill out a form so we can keep track of what's being taken. Ask the librarian for help!

We are so lucky to have Kim Blair, an intern with UVM Extension Master Gardener Program, helping us get set up again this year!

We also owe a HUMONGOUS thank you to High Mowing Organic Seeds, a Wolcott-based business, for their donation of seeds!
