What’s Happening...
Annual Plant Sale, Book Sale, Bake Sale, Yard Sale
The library's annual plant sale, yard sale, book sale, and bake sale is coming soon! This year the event will be held on Saturday, May 25 from 9AM-3PM. This sale is one of the library's main fundraisers for the year, and we heartily welcome the following donations for the sale:
Plants: Perennial plants or shrubs that you can divide and pot up for sale, or extra vegetable or flower seedlings, can be brought to the library on Friday, May 24. Please label them if you know what they are.
Baked goods: Cookies, cakes, bread, pies, quiche, or anything else you can make will be gratefully accepted on Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning.
Books: We appreciate book donations at any time, as we have room to store these in the basement.
Yard Sale Items: Clean items in good shape are appreciated during the week of the sale (May 21-25), but no clothes please. As you start your spring cleaning, keep us in mind.
And of course, finally, we need people to come and buy things! This is always a huge day, with really great plants, books, yard sale treasures, and delicious baked goods. People give generously to the library, and so there are lots of great things to buy. Please come if you can, and spread the word to friends and family, neighbors, random people on the street! |

Craftsbury Writer's Workshop
The Craftsbury Writer’s Workshop is held at the Craftsbury Public
Library on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM. The workshops
will start with a quick generative exercise to set participants’
minds in literary motion, followed by an hour of respectful critique
on work. Pieces that writers would like critiqued should be emailed
to the library at craftsburylibrary@gmail.com or left in hard
copy a week before the workshop, so that other participants can
read and prepare comments for a more involved discussion. For
