From the Library Director’s Desk:
In order to protect our community’s health, the Friends of the McCullough Library’s Book and Bake Sale, a two-day celebration of books, baked goods, and community spirit, has been postponed until September 2021.
The thousands of dollars generated by the Friends’ Book & Bake Sale fund most of our award-winning free community events, most of our magazine subscriptions, our ebook and digital audiobook lending services, craft supplies, and so much more.
In order to keep funding for Library programs and services in place for the year ahead, we are hosting an online auction over Labor Day weekend (September 4th- 7th). Can you help? Auction items are needed. Please contact me at 802.447.7121 or at mclibrary@comcast.net. A wide variety of desirable items in good condition, experiences, services, and gift certificates will ensure this effort’s success.
If you’d prefer to donate directly to the Friends of the McCullough Library, many thanks in advance! Checks should be made out to McCullough Free Library and can either be brought to the Library or mailed to PO Box 339, North Bennington, VT 05257.
Donations of books, games, puzzles and DVDs will be accepted until the Library’s basement storage area is full.
Also, be sure to check out our honor system sale rack at Powers Market and Sunny Day Sales at the Library’s back door in the months ahead.

News from the Children’s Room
Beanstack, an online book discovery service, not only enables you to track your child’s reading, but also offers personalized book recommendations and special learning tools. You can choose to keep track of the number of books you read or the number of minutes you read. As reading is logged and activities are completed, kids will earn tickets for our raffle prize drawings. Instructions for accessing Beanstack are included in Summer Reading Club registration packets.
The paper reading logs work the same way. Track your child’s reading and activity completion by filling in the circles on the paper slips in this kit. When all the circles on the slip are filled in, choose a raffle you’d like to enter and return the slip to the McCullough Library’s book drop anytime. Be sure to include your child’s name on the paper slip. If you need more slips, please call the Library at 802.447.7121 to arrange for pickup.
To register, or for more information, please contact McCullough Library Youth Services Librarian Katrina Hastings at 802.447.7121 or email mcculloughyouthservices@gmail.com
