Sometimes, it's nice to have a reminder about all of the services the library provides....here are a few:

*We have lots and lots of current titles in both fiction and non-fiction!  Best sellers, prize winners, favorite authors and new authors....contemporary issues, gardening, outdoors, history.....

*We have many titles in LARGE PRINT!  We are so lucky to receive funding from the Copley Trust to, among other things, expand our Large Print Collection.  Don't stop reading when the print gets small!  Or if the print is too small regardless, ask us how to set you up with the Talking Books program through the Vermont Department of Libraries!

*We have a huge DVD collection!  You can borrow DVDs for 1 week.  We have some new titles, Oscar winners, family movies, cartoons, documentaries, how-to, old favorites, Nova, Nature....etc. etc.  

*We belong to a downloadable audio book and e-book service.  You don't have to stop using the library when you get a Kindle, Nook, or other e-reader!  Go to listenupvermont.org, or head over to our Links page on this website to learn more.  No, you won't always be able to check out the book you want when you want it...just like with a regular library book, you have to check it out, or join a waiting list....but you do get the books for free! 

*Please stop by the Lanpher Library to learn more!

The Lanpher Library is hosting two free and fantastic events for children this month, in addition to our regular story time programs on Monday evenings at 6:00 and Wednesday mornings at 10.

On MONDAY APRIL 15TH AT 3:00 the Junior Naturalist Program: "Spectacular Spiders" will engage and inform children through a puppet show, explorations of spider body parts, web-building lessons...and making spiders.

On Monday April 22d, Tuesday April 23rd and Wednesday April 24th from 3:00-4:30, we are having a "Harry Potter" After School Program for children ages 9-12. Registration is required and space is limited, but we have a few spots left!   Enter the imaginary world of Harry Potter...take classes on Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Herbology, Divination...and more.  Please call us 888-4628 for more information, or for a registration form.  Forms are due by April 17th. 

Please join in celebrating National Poetry Month with the second annual Poetry Slam on Friday, April 26 at 6:00.

All ages are welcome to perform and prizes will be awarded. 

A poetry slam is a light hearted poetry presentation/performance that is judged by members of the audience.  All poems must be original, no props, costumes, or musical instruments allowed...but performers can use their own voices to create music, rhythms and beats. 

NO registration required...just show up on Friday evening.

Refreshments served.

Give us a call with any questions...888-4628
