We look forward to the time when the Vermont State Guidelines indicate that it is safe to return to the use of large shared community spaces so that we can return to offering independent library access to our students. Under the unique circumstances of the 2020-2021 school year, we are finding new ways to share books with students including a mobile book cart that travels to the hallway outside each classroom on a rotating basis, “surprise” book bags based on the information students give their librarians on interest inventories, and use of the library online catalog to make book requests that get delivered to the classrooms.
