Join the Children’s Dragon Egg Hunt !

Posted on by Director of the Winhall Memorial Library

Saturday October 2, 10-10:45 AM (rain date is Sat, Oct 9)

The Vermont Fairy Tale festival presents the Great Vermont Dragon Egg Hunts. Over 100 libraries across the state are participating this fall, including Winhall. It’s a scavenger hunt. One dragon egg will be hidden outside of the Library. The lucky seeker who finds Winhall’s egg will win a beautifully crafted Dragon Puppet! We’ll follow with a fairytale reading to celebrate our love of fairytales.

Children must be accompanied by a caregiver– especially crucial for those who can’t yet read the clues!

Farewell to the Winhall Community

Posted on by Director of the Winhall Memorial Library

I will be leaving the Winhall Library. My last day in the library will be Thursday, August 12th. I have purchased a home out of the area.

It has been a pleasure and joy to be welcomed into the wonderful community of Winhall. Over my 5 years of employment, I have made many meaningful connections with patrons and gained valuable friendships along the way.

I have enjoyed my work preparing the library to sustain viability into the future. I pride myself on not only our wonderful collection, but on building the library into a vital community hub.

I will miss coming into the gorgeous red building, the smell of the books, and the smiling faces of our community members.

Sincerely, Dawn Santos
