We are actively seeking new members for our Friends of the Library board as well as a new President & Treasurer! Join the Friends of the Library and have a direct impact on your community with a limited time commitment!
Friends of the Highgate Public Library is a nonprofit 501 (C) 3 charity organization. Our goal is a simple one. We want to support our local public library by helping to foster, encourage, sponsor, and promote the Library through contributions (for activities and items not covered in the annual operating budget) and program enrichment.
To learn more please visit https://hlccvt.org/friends-of-the-library/. To join the Friends please email Adah at librarian@highgatevt.org or call the library at 802-868-3970!
As many of you know the library is actively working to expand by building a new, larger library building closer to the elementary school. This new building will provide us the opportunity to better serve the community through a larger community space, a kitchen for cooking programs, private study rooms, more shelving for books, DVDs, and audiobooks, and a large outdoor space for outdoor programming! Bit by bit we are collecting the funds needed to build the new library and community center and we ask you to donate anything you can to the cause. We’ve set up a new building fund through GiveButter to make the donation process easy.
You can donate here: https://givebutter.com/highgatelibrary
We so appreciate anything that you can give and thank you so much for your generosity. It is because of community support that we continue to grow and expand!
