• Plant, Book & Bake Sale: On Saturday, June 5, support the South Londonderry Free Library by buying beautiful flowering plants, books, audios or yummy baked goods. This annual fundraiser will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the library's porch and gardens, as well as inside the library.

On display in the Janeway Wing will be an eclectic selection of colorful, quilted wall hangings created by Vicki Greene. New this year, thanks to the generosity of artist Nancy Tips, frames for artwork will also be sold.

Last year's event was successful thanks to the generosity of many local businesses,  gardeners and bakers. Any bakers who would like to make a cake, pie, cookies or brownies for resale would be most welcome. Some may even want to donate a house plant or two before they turn your home into a veritable jungle. Drop off any donations by Friday, June 4.

The library is located at 15 Old School St., just off Main Street and Thompsonburg Road,  just down the street from the Town Offices in South Londonderry. Contact the library at 802-824-3371, southlondonderryfreelibrary@yahoo.com or virtually visit by going to londonderryvt.org or Facebook.
