The Lanpher Library is ready for summer!
The Summer Theme is: Unearth a Story...Dinosaurs, Archaeology, and Digging in to Reading!
Students can set a Summer Reading Goal AND attend some amazing programs.
Stop by the Library any time to set a summer reading goal to earn prizes, and chances to win more. For every book they read toward their goal, (of for every 20 minutes spent reading) they can enter in a drawing to win amazing prizes....
Lego Creator Sets, Folkmanis Puppets, a Waffle Iron that makes Dinosaur shaped Waffles, a Dinosaur Game and Puzzle set, Beach Towels and Beach Toys...plus...2 Admission Passes to the Pump House Waterpark at Jay Peak, Gift Cards to the Bijou Theater, Gift Cards to Bear Pond Books in Stowe, and Galaxy Books in Hardwick, and MORE!
Starting Monday June 22nd, when you stop in to check in with us, you'll get to pick up the PRIZE of the WEEK! A little something to help you remember to keep summer reading FUN! The sooner you set up your goal, the more time you have to collect the prizes of the week.
We didn't forget the Young Adults and Grown Ups! For every book you read this summer, you can enter in a drawing to win prizes too.
All prizes will be drawn on Friday, August 14th.

The Hyde Park Community Wind Phone is Here at the Library
PHOTOS FROM OUR WIND PHONE DEDICATION May 20, 2023
Speaker, Janette Shaffer, Vermont Department of Libraries Assistant Librarian for Library Advancement.
LUHS Select Choir, the Jamtones performed.
"After the death of his cousin in 2010, a man named Itaru Sasaki built a phone booth in his garden as a way to deal with his grief. Although the phone was disconnected, Sasaki believed his words rode the wind to his loved one. A year later ,when a tsunami struck his coastal town of Otsuchi, thousands of mourners flocked to the phone booth to connect to their missing loves ones."
The idea of a wind phone resonated with people and they have begun popping up all over the world, including ours here at the Lanpher Library, which is funded by a grant from the Vermont Department of Libraries and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
The Hyde Park Wind Phone is a beautiful place for those who need a silent listener.
Sometimes we have words that need to come out...we are grieving, we need to connect with our higher power, or somebody we've lost, sometimes feelings can be too much to hold...
Use this brave space to have an intentional and planned connection to a loved one or to the energy all around you. Simply pick up the phone receiver and talk. We invite you to send your words into the wind.
Please help us keep your Wind Phone safe and clean.
