Join the Central Vermont Council on Aging and the ABLE Library for Memorable Times Online on Wednesday, August 2, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The theme for this month is "We Get Around!" On the ground, on water, and in the air; on feet and skis, on rails and all kinds of wheels. Maybe with the help of a horse! What have been your favorite ways of going from one place to another? Come share stories, pictures, and musical memories about "getting around!"
Our newsletter gives you the latest updates on what is going on at the library. We include some of our new books and book club information. We offer an Adobe PDF version and an audio version on YouTube.

Join Inclusive Arts Vermont and the ABLE Library for a free remote tour highlighting works from MASKED, a visual arts exhibition featuring 22 artists with disabilities.
Each piece in MASKED offers the artist's creative expression of the title - which arose in the early moments of the global pandemic. The work included is as complex and layered as the meaning of the word "masked" itself. The artists explore protection, disguise, veiling, all that is enshrouded, and what lies beneath.
