Use this site to do
online searches of academic, public, and regional
libraries statewide.
*While the Fairlee
Public Library does not currently have an online
catalog, there is a way to determine if we probably own
a particular title: Hint: Print these instructions
for use as you move to another page
Go to
http://web2.libraries.vermont.gov web page.
Click on Catalog link.
Click on Other Libraries
link.
Click in box next to
Public Library Catalog (selected) (PUBCAT).
Type your search in the
Enter a word or phrase to search box and click on
appropriate Search records by button.
On the "Summary of
Results" page, click on link to PUBCAT results.
Look for FPL's symbol
(VSR9) in your search results. (You can Ctrl/F to find
the symbol or just scan the page manually.)
If you want to find out
what other public libraries own the title, you can click
on the Public Library Holding Codes link to find out
what libraries the other symbols belong to.
You can also broaden
your search on the Other Libraries page by clicking in
more boxes to search more databases.
If we own the title, you
can copy the information and then email it to us so we
can reserve the book for you.
*Any item that you would
like that our library does not own, we can do an
Inter-Library Loan to request it from another library.
If an item is not available in Vermont, we can receive
items from out-of-state libraries. Please note that
out-of-state loans do take longer to receive. To request
an Inter-Library Loan,
please include your name and phone # and as much
information as possible about the requested title. (Ex.
Author, Title, Publisher, Date of publication) If you
have a deadline, please let us know that as well.

The Vermont Online
Library is a collection of online databases that is
available statewide for patrons of Vermont libraries.
Brought to you in part by the Vermont Department of
Libraries, this Gale Group suite of databases is a
one-stop source for news and periodical articles on a
wide-range of topics: business, current events,
economics, education, health care, literature, art, and
science. These databases include ones suitable for all
ages from young children through adult.
Use VOL to search for
magazine articles and other information, including many
full-text magazine/journal articles and reference
materials. VOL may be used in the library, or by
library patrons at home with a password obtained from
your local Vermont library. Call 802-333-4716,
e-mail us, or visit
the Fairlee Public Library during regular business hours
to receive the password and other information for using
this database.
Reading Area
 In our
reading area are 2 comfortable chairs, one of them donated in memory of
Gertrude Mallary, and an antique library table which was donated by the Orford
Lion's Club. There are also 2 chairs in front of the fireplace area.
 This space is also the room where
most of our programs will be held. We have 25 new stacking chairs which should
handle most of our needs. Our monthly Neighborhood Book Discussion meeting
takes place in this area. (We generally meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each
month, except December, and newcomers are always welcome.) Sign up and pick up
your reading copy of the discussion book at the library anytime!
In this area are 2
bookcases one of which is used for special displays each
month, and the other for our on-going book sale, and on
the walls are some of our historic pictures.
