Time to fill out your census!

A friendly reminder to get your census done! Here is some information from Bryan Sell of Killington, tasked with helping to get Pittsfield counted: 
The current decennial census response rate for Pittsfield is at 29.2% (national response rate is currently above 60%). And maybe you didn't know this: second/seasonal-home owners are required to respond; there is more information about that on the attached flyer (above). The decennial census is only 10 questions that can be answered by mail, by phone at 844-330-2020, or at https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond.html

Vt Humanities Council Talk with John Lewis (1940-2020)

7/23/2020

Picture
Representative John Lewis, the civil rights icon, visited Burlington in October 2019, along with his co-writer, Andrew Aydin.  Together, they created graphic novels (called March, in three volumes) telling the story of Congressman Lewis's life experiences, growing up in segregated Alabama and becoming active in the civil rights movement.  The link below will take you to the VT Humanities Council page, from where you can navigate to a recording of his talk at the Flynn, his interview on VPR, and photos of his time in Burlington.

We have volumes 1 and 3 at the Library, ready to borrow now.  I have hopes to fill that obvious hole in our collection where volume 2 should go soon!

Here's a description of the podcast from the NPR website:
"Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully-selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 4 to 10. Each 10- to 20-minute episode explores important issues like kindness, persistence and generosity. And each episode ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups."
The website has information on how to listen as well.

​ECHO is reopening to the public! Starting this weekend, they are open Saturday and Sunday (7/4 &7/5), from 10 am to 3 pm. On July 10th, ECHO will open with summer hours - Friday through Monday from 10am to 3pm. Timed tickets are required and available for two slots: 10 am – 12 pm or 1 – 3 pm for fast and contactless entry. More information can be found at https://www.echovermont.org/plan-you…/reopening-information/
If you are interested in using the ECHO pass discount from Roger Clark Library, please contact ECHO at guestservices@echovermont.org or 802-864-1848, to register your family and sign up for a time. They are keeping entry contact-free, so instead of getting the pass from the Library, you'll register on their website or by phone for a timed visit. You will get the Library pass discount!
There is a limit on the number of people who can be in the building at one time.
In terms of pricing, the structure has changed for the summer hours: ages 0-17 are free and adults 18+ are $12. With the library discount, adults 18+ are $6 per person.
Additionally, for now, the card can be "checked out" as many times as people want. ECHO is happy to accommodate and welcome more than one family from our Library on the same day. ECHO is dedicated to staying accessible and supportive of all Vermonters.
