Did you know that GYRLA does not collect late fees for overdue books? In lieu of late fines, GYRLA asks patrons to consider donating a food item when they return the overdue materials. These food items are then delivered to the Gilmanton Food Pantry that serves individuals and families in our community.

CLiF Rural Library Grant

Gilmanton Year-Round Library has been selected to receive a Rural Library Grant for the 2024-2025school year from the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF). The nonprofit organization is located in Waterbury Center, Vt.
Twelve qualifying public libraries in Vermont and New Hampshire are receiving the grant. The Rural Library Grant is designed is to help small-town libraries create excitement around literacy, update their collection, increase circulation, and strengthen the library’s connection with the community.
“The Gilmanton Year-Round Library Association (GYRLA) is thrilled to be a CLiF Rural Library Grant recipient. This will benefit both the Gilmanton Year-Round Library and the Gilmanton School Library. The goal of the Children’s Literacy Foundation aligns with our GYRLA mission to promote literacy in our community.”

“We applied for this grant realizing that it would provide an excellent opportunity to update our children’s book collection. Additionally, the in-person programs provided through this grant are designed to engage children and the families within our community,” said Chris Schlegel, President GYRLA Board of Directors.

In the spring of 2025, the grant will provide $2,000 in new children’s books for the public library and $500 in new books for the local elementary school. In addition to the books, two storytelling events for children will be hosted and provide two new books for each child at the Gilmanton elementary school to select and take home.

“CLiF’s Rural Library Grant program is a wonderful way to support libraries by generating awareness and enthusiasm through in-person events and book giveaways for local children,” said CLiF Program Manager Cassie Willner. “In addition, we know how important it is to help small libraries update and diversify their children’s book collection and promote outreach through new titles and events.”
