About us

For more than 120 years, the Pawlet Public Library has been a place where community comes together to learn, discover, create and connect. Since opening in 1903, the library has evolved to meet the changing needs of Pawlet and the surrounding towns. In 2002, the library moved into the beautifully restored historic former Pawlet Grammar School, where it continues to serve as a welcoming gathering place for people of all ages.

Today, the library offers a collection of more than 10,000 books, audiobooks, DVDs, and other material, along with access to digital resources, high speed internet, and interlibrary loan services that connect our patrons to libraries throughout Vermont and beyond. Through Programs, events, and shared experiences, we strive to foster lifelong learning, creativity, and meaningful connections within our community.
