Graphic Novels
The Library has begun adding
titles to the juvenile collection in the format called "graphic" novels, also
known as bound comic books or illustrated novels. The number of titles is small
but growing and includes "X-Men", "Fantastic Four", "Bone", and "Superman".
Come in and check them out!
Juvenile Audio Tapes
The Library is continuing to add to its juvenile
books-on-tape collection. We currently have about 30
titles available in the Youth Room, as well as titles in
the adult collection which are suitable for juveniles as
well. We would like suggestions of other titles to
purchase, so you can fill out a form at the library if
you have a good title for us to put on our list, or call
802-333-4716, or e-mail us.
Visit the “What’s New at
the Library” link for listings of other programs.
Recent Acquisitions
The library has several
titles from the most recent Dorothy Canfield Fisher and Red Clover lists for
our patrons to check out. More new titles arriving soon.
Preschool Storybook Times
The Library offers
Spring and Fall sessions of story hours for children ages 3 -5 weekly on
Tuesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. A theme is chosen for each program, which
integrates stories, songs, finger rhymes, and FUN!
Summer Reading Program
Each summer the
Library joins other libraries around Vermont in participating in the Vermont
Department of Libraries Summer Reading Program. The program features several
weeks of programs and activities, and is designed to encourage children to read
for fun, and to help keep "reading skills" intact for the next school year.

Databases
Vermont Department of Libraries Catalog
http://web2.dol.state.vt.us
Use this site to do online searches of academic,
public, and regional libraries statewide.
*While the Fairlee Public Library does not
currently have an online catalog, there is a way to
determine if we probably own a particular title:
Hint: Print these instructions for use as you move
to another page
Click on the above link for the Vermont
Department of Libraries Catalog.
Click on one of the 3 buttons at the bottom
of the page that appears next. (The library
usually visits Midstate for collections of state
books for our patrons.)
Click on Multiple Library Search at the top
of the page that appears next.
Click in the check box for Public Libraries.
You can “Click Off” the Department of Libraries
selection, but it will reappear every time you
return to this page for a new search.
Type your title or other search in the
appropriate box and click on Title or other
search method.
When the search ends, click on the Public
Libraries link if it appears.
Look for the Fairlee Public Library’s symbol
(VSR9) to appear under the Library Holdings list
for each entry.
If we own the title, you can copy the
information and then email it to us so we can
reserve the
book for you.
*Any item that you would like that our library
does not own, we can do an
Inter-Library Loan to request it from
another library. If an item is not available in
Vermont, we can receive items from out-of-state
libraries. Please note that out-of-state loans do
take longer to receive. To request an Inter-Library
Loan, please include your name and phone # and as
much information as possible about the requested
title. (Ex. Author, Title, Publisher, Date of
publication) If you have a deadline, please let us
know that as well.

education, health care, literature, art, and
science. These databases include ones suitable for
all ages from young children through adult.
Use VOL to search for magazine articles and other

us, or visit the Fairlee Public Library during regular business hours to
