It is with deep sadness that we mourn the death of Meg Brazill. Meg was a vibrant and much loved member of our NWPL staff. A self-described “recovering punk-rocker,” she was an exceptional writer and social media expert. Her quick wit and sense of humor informed all she did both here and in the wider community.
We are holding her daughter, Sarah Callandar, in our thoughts and prayers. Sarah has set up a special email account to gather memories and photos: megbrazillmemories@gmail.com. A service will be scheduled in Vermont in the spring.
Meg leaves a solid legacy of both ongoing programs and special events at the library. She was a woman of many talents and will be truly missed.

What better place to spend time on a cold day than at the library? While the library remains open for browsing and limited events, we require masks be worn at all times. We offer "curbside pick up" in the foyer if you would prefer to keep your distance while keeping your "to be read pile" replenished. Be sure to check out our New Arrivals page - continuously updated!
This January, we are offering weekly and monthly programs along with a special author event -- mostly online via Zoom...
