Public libraries play an enormously important role in our communities and we should all be proud that Vermont has 183 of them – more, per capita, than any other state in the country. As Youth Services Librarian Sam Maskell put it when speaking about the Rockingham Free Public Library, “The library is the community’s living room.” I couldn’t agree more and I believe we see that reality all across Vermont.

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to visit town fairs in every part of Vermont, each with its own history, personality, and tradition. And I have a lot of memories from them all. Like many other Vermonters, my kids, grandchildren, and I have enjoyed the rides, the food, the agricultural exhibits, the historical displays, the demolition derbies, the tractor pulls, the beer tents, the concerts, and many other activities.
