Libraries | 
During the rains today I decided to visit Craftsbury VT, 30 minutes away. I‘d never spent time there but there was a plant sale at the library (bottom right -imagine it with rain). While there, they told me about another library 10 minutes away in East Craftsbury. This town of 1,300 people has 2 libraries! I fell in love with the Simpson Memorial Library (top photo)-104 years old, fantastic new and old fiction, mementos from the Simpson family. 🔽
Suet624 I spent an hour with the librarian and now have a library card from that library - my 6th card from 6 towns with individual selections of books according to their librarians‘ tastes. 5d
monalyisha I always love driving past the teeny-tiny country libraries whenever we go camping in VT! I should make it a point to abandon my group for a brief solo expedition to explore. 5d
Suet624 @monalyisha there are 185 public libraries in our small state. It‘s so fun to see what each library decides to display and purchase and what events each one organizes. I encourage you to take some time to drive around. It‘s such a beautiful viewing experience if nothing else. 😊 5d

monalyisha I only know the one that was on my college campus. 😅🙈 But a moose visited it once (just wandered onto the lawn). That was something to behold! 5d
Suet624 @monalyisha that‘s a riot. Where did you go to college? 5d
monalyisha I went to Saint Mike‘s. I left for warmer climes after graduation (only Rhode Island…but still markedly less chilly)! Still, I love Vermont & still have a bunch of friends scattered across the state. 5d
Suet624 @monalyisha A great college. 💕 5d
monalyisha @Suet624 Thanks! I loved my time there. So many of the professors were absolute gems. And it had such a close-knit vibe. Plus, the sky was literally bluer. I didn‘t even mind that our campus sometimes smelled like a farm. 😉 In fact, it was kind-of nice… 5d
Suet624 @monalyisha did you ever have Elizabeth Inness Brown as a professor? 5d
monalyisha @Suet624 I didn‘t…but she was definitely there when I was there! 5d
AlaMich @monalyisha I spent a summer at Middlebury studying Spanish and I clearly remember the eau de manure! 🐮 5d
