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 (glammr.us)

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.

@[email protected] Yeah I mean the actual quote totally screams "AN AI WROTE THIS" because it says "The mean age of the libraries in the state according to a survey by the Vermont Department of Libraries is 1912" Like 1912 is not an age, but I get the gist. I do assume it was Carnegie-adjacent. My library is from 1909 iirc so I bet a lot are from exactly that decade-ish.
