Curbside Service Update

In light of increasing case numbers in Chittenden County and Vermont as a whole, the Carpenter-Carse Library will return to CURBSIDE PICKUP ONLY after the Thanksgiving Holiday, beginning on Monday, November 30.

We love serving our community, and we have enjoyed being able to provide in-person library services (in masks) since June, when we re-opened for browsing.

We don’t love being closed to browsing, but we want to discourage people from non-essential activity at the moment, and library visits are not essential.

As we did throughout our first period of closure in 2020, we are here to check out items to you, to help you reset passwords for digital services, and we LOVE HEARING FROM YOU and keeping you in books (and movies & dvds & audiobooks).

Don’t hesitate to call us or email us during our normal operating hours, and we can help you with whatever you need (as long as your request is within our service reach.) We will still provide printing via email, we can fax for you, and if you have a question or need help getting your hands on a book we don’t own, we will continue to provide interlibrary loan service.

I know we have all been working extra hard to keep this space safe for the public and for one another, and I want to thank everyone who has expressed appreciation to us. We appreciate you just as much. We remain here to help, just call us or email us! 802-482-2878 or email us library@carpentercarse.org
