If you've ever ordered a book from another library in our consortium, this is how it was delivered to us! We send out and receive deliveries like this one a few times a week.

Talking about Tech
Saturday, May 23, 10:30 AM to 12 PM
Quiet Reading Room (D)

Bring your tech questions and answers to this monthly series on fourth Saturdays for technology help. Our vision is an interactive gathering a bit like a book club crossed with a crafting group, with a touch of a drop-in bike repair clinic.

Each session will begin with a 30-minute guided discussion of a tech topic of interest. Then we’ll have an hour for mutual tech support on the focus topic or other areas of need and interest.

Maybe you have the answer someone else is looking for! The library’s Electronic Services Specialist, Matt, will be there to provide expert help. Bring your phone, tablet, or laptop.

Our State Parks Pass provides free admission to over 50 developed state parks in Vermont, each offering high-quality opportunities for outdoor recreation compatible with the conservation of Vermont's natural resources and aesthetics.

The State Historic Sites Pass lets you into all of Vermont’s historic sites! Vermont has a rich cultural, historical, architectural, and archaeological legacy extending as far back as 13,000 years ago. Exceptional representations of this history can be found at the State Historic Sites that stretch the length of our state.

Both passes provide free entry for up to 8 people in one vehicle. These passes are generously donated through the Vermont State Park and Historic Sites Pass Program.

Reserve them at https://brookslibraryvt.org/use-the-library/museum-passes/

SilverCircus – by NECCA
Saturday, May 23 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Strengthen balance and build social connection, all while playing and connecting to your inner child with SilverCircus by the New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA). These circus classes are designed for older adults and are welcome to all mobility and cognitive levels. We will work with each student where they are at, while fostering a supportive and playful group dynamic. Activities will challenge the brain and the body, and will be scaled up and down to be the perfect challenge for each participant.
