ABLE Library Services

The ABLE Library is a free talking book and braille library service. We serve patrons who are blind and visually impaired. We also serve patrons who have a physical or reading disability that stops them from being able to read standard print. We are part of the Vermont Department of Libraries, and we serve the entire state of Vermont.

ABLE Book Club: February 19, 2025

Join us for the ABLE Library book club! Our next meeting is on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. We do not have a specific book for this meeting - this is a chance to come and talk about something you've read recently that you'd like to share with others. Did you love the book and want to spread the news? Did you hate a book and want to save your fellow ABLE Library patrons from a bad book? Come talk about it!
