Library in Salisbury is closing next Thursday for reconstruction

Salisbury Library will be closed Oct. 10-23 to pack books and move to a temporary spot during town hall renovations.

Thanks to a couple of major grants and dedicated community volunteers, a more-than-20-year effort to renovate Salisbury’s historic 1869 Town Hall building at 918 Maple St. is expected come to fruition next year.

Bristol and Salisbury are among 14 Vermont communities whose public libraries will share $15.9 million in federal funding for much-needed capital projects.

The library in Salisbury will get $2,000 worth of new children’s books and more.

The library was selected to receive $750 from the Paul Post Fund (administered by the Vermont Community Foundation) to increase the library’s ease of access and appeal for young people in our community.
