Books, media, puzzles, and other interesting items are available in the vestibule at very reasonable suggested donation prices. A convenient box is on the wall for cash or check payments, with a QR code to be scanned in order to pay via credit card or PayPal. You may also drop off membership payments.

Wow!

It was so nice to see so many members of the community. The 2025 Winter Boutique was a great success! We’re incredibly grateful to the community for its generosity — those who donated lovely boutique items and those who came to shop, bought raffle tickets, or donated yummy baked goods and visited our bake sale, and of course the VPL staff who helped (and put up with us!). Finally, a HUGE thanks goes to our amazingly kind and helpful volunteers!

Thank you!

Happy Holidays!

Support the Library

The Friends organize fundraisers for the library throughout the year, including the Winter Boutique and Big Book Sale in the fall. In addition, Encore Books and our book shelves inside the library entranceway are a wonderful way to give back to our community, both by donating books and other materials and by volunteering to help.
