Welcome to the Moretown Community Library!

Upcoming Programs

The Mad River Valley Libraries invite you to join us on Thursday evening, June 18th at 7 p.m. at the Joslin Memorial Library for a neighbor-to-neighbor community discussion about AI data centers. Hear how Royalton approved the first-in-the-state moratorium and what the broader context is for data centers in Vermont.
 
Jane Philbrick, a Royalton Memorial Library board member, and Kip Bergstrom, Royalton Selectboard and Planning Commission member, will present information about Royalton. Dara Torre, our State of Vermont Representative, will share information about how the legislature is addressing potential AI data center proposals.

Art & Conversations of Freedom (ACF) is a 3-hour participatory experience for teens to adults. This free workshop is offered by the MRV Libraries and is supported in part by Vermont Humanities.
​
In ACF, we examine the ideas of freedom, power, and agency through:
​
Pointed conversation in an agreed-upon open dialogue
Applied Theater
Art-making
     
ACF provides insights on how to ‘do something’ to negate hate and uplift love. The goal is that when you leave the Art & Conversations of Freedom experience, you have a new sense of understanding and empathy, and practical tools for productive communication and civic engagement. 
This workshop is led by Artivist, Educator, and Warren resident, janet e. dandridge. janet is an interdisciplinary artist who uses performance art, installations, and photography (among other media) to explore trauma, resilience, empathy, and the power of Black women. She has extensive experience leading arts workshops, both as an instructor at George Mason University and in her own fluidity series, an arts-centered educational experience that janet has conducted in Washington, DC; Paris, France; and Columbus, Ohio.
