The library received word yesterday that our grant to improve our DVD collection for children and young adults was funded by the Winnie Belle Learned Fund!
In the next year we will be purchasing films, mainly ones that are based on books.
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let us know.
About the Winnie Belle Learned Fund -
The Winnie Belle Learned Fund was created in 2007 by Dr. Burnett Rawson in honor of Winnie Belle Learned, a Vermonter, educator, and his benefactress. Born in 1863 in Westford, Vermont, despite many personal hardships, Ms. Learned received her teaching certificate, and was a teacher and principal in Massachusetts for many years before returning to her native Vermont in 1911where, with a relative, Jennie Burnett, she operated Cherry Hill Farm in Williston. In 1932, during the Depression, Ms. Learned took notice of Burnett Rawson, a distant relative, and asked his mother’s permission to take him from the family farm in Underhill so that he could study. Her generosity and vision allowed him to attend the University of Vermont and its medical school. After military service and further medical studies, he practiced urology in New York for many years before retiring to his native Vermont.
Dr. Rawson’s goal for Winnie Belle Learned Fund is to help the small public libraries of Vermont foster literacy, love of learning, critical analysis and intellectual exploration in their communities, particularly among children and their families.

NEW!!
We now have a new log in for three of our public access computers that provides access to the Internet with a lower level of filtering. Library staff can log in any adult community member who requests this. If you had trouble getting to social media sites etc. before because of the filters, this should take care of that problem.

This Saturday, Feb. 26th from 9-1 is the used book and movie sale, and combined effort of the library and the high school England trip. This one day event takes place outside the elementary school gym (where town meeting takes place).
We have been weeding our collection and accepting donations, so there are lots to choose from including books on tape, videos, and picture books for kids. Low prices. Free note cards of the Fairfax Covered Bridge for each customer. Proceeds to benefit both the library and the High School England trip.

Each year the library and Success by Six work together to invite Fairfax families to dedicate new library books in honor of the new babies in our community. This program is part of the Welcome infant Social and Annual Birthday Bash each spring. We would like to extend this invitation to you and your family.
Each Fairfax family who gave birth to or adopted a child between March 1, 2010 and February 28, 2011 is invited to come to the Welcome infant Social and choose a special book which will be dedicated to your child. A book plate will be placed inside the front cover of the book with your child’s name and date of birth. As he or she grows, you will both enjoy reading and re-reading this book and your child will know there is one special volume for them at their library. It’s a wonderful way to encourage literacy and an interest in books as well as making each child feel special and noticed.
This year we are organizing things a little differently. Here’s how it will work.
If you would like to participate in the Baby Book Dedication program, you must fill out and return the enclosed form to the library by MARCH 8, 2011. You may mail the form or drop it off at the circulation desk in the library, or send us an email with the needed information (baby's full name and date of birth, if known). Please use the attached form or let us know you need one.
We will order a selection of hardcover picture books for those families who indicate their desire to participate by returning the enclosed form. There is no cost to you for the book. The books will be on display at the Welcome Infant Social on Saturday, April 2, 2011. If you can attend you may choose a book for your baby and if you cannot attend we will choose one we think you would like. Only families who have returned the participation form will have a book available for dedication, so please make sure you return yours!
Success by Six will be sending you more detailed information about the Social and Birthday Bash later this year.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you and your baby at the library.

Deb Warner, Chair Fairfax Community Library Board of Trustees
