There are a lot of tiny libraries in Vermont, some of them serve communities so small they don’t have a “capital campaigns” option for doing needed improvements. Many aren’t accessible. Vermont just announced awards of over $15mil in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money much of which will help our smallest libraries get more accessible.

In one case, they’re expanding a library so that it can have a bathroom. Not just a public bathroom, a bathroom.

    @jessamyn@glammr.us I can believe it. Not saying it’s correct, just that in a New England state it’s believable.

    There may be a very old Library Georg skewing the average age, though.
