Curbside service for libraries has been approved! Fairfax Community Library is delighted to provide patrons with access to materials through curbside pickup service. The hours will be Wednesdays from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm, beginning May 20, 2020. Use our website catalog to search for items currently available at the library, and locate the items you want. There is a limit of 10 items per library card. You can send an email (libraryfairfax@gmail.com or fairfaxlibrarian@gmail.com), call the library at 802-849-2420, or message the library on Facebook with a list of items. Items can also be placed on hold on your library account. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to let us know.
Staff will check out your items and place them in a bag with your name. Bagged items will be on a table outside the building for contactless pickup. Items can be borrowed for 2 weeks.

Join us for a virtual presentation by author Rebecca Rupp on Thursday, May 7th at 6:30 pm.! Ms. Rupp's presentation, "Wolf Peaches, Poisoned Peas, and Madame Pompadour’s Underwear: The Surprising History of Common Garden Vegetables", is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council. As you look forward to summer gardening, or new things to read, you can find out "why a lot of us don’t like beets, how a 17th-century pirate named the bell pepper, how carrots won the Trojan War, and how George Washington was nearly assassinated with a plate of poisoned peas."
Attendance is via remote access. *If you would like to attend this meeting, please email the library at fairfaxlibrarian@gmail.com to request the Zoom link.
