Important Covid-19 Update – July 15, 2020!
Southwestern Vermont Health Care (Bennington Hospital) in a partnership with Town of Manchester and Riley Rink.
The SVHC pop-up site will open Wednesday, July 15 for drive-up testing between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and remain open at Riley Rink as many days as necessary. Once patient volume subsides, the pop-up testing location will transition to the SVMC Northshire Campus in Manchester. Those who attend the SVMC pop-up testing event should bring a completed form with them. The form can be obtained at https://svhealthcare.org/Portals/0/Outpatient%20COVID_%20Patient%20Data%20Sheet%20updated.pdf
Please continue to follow the CDC and State of Vermont guidelines — particularly, • wear masks — preferably at all times except on your own property • keep social distance — 6-10 feet • stay away from crowds • wash your hands • limit trips and exposure to others to essential needs • contact your provider or a health care professional if you feel sick or think you have been exposed
We can do this. We can keep our community safe and strong. But we all have to do our part.

Black Lives, Black Voices
In This Moment
Wilder Memorial Library shares the nation’s anger, sadness, frustration, and heartbreak over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the epidemic of violent acts perpetrated against Blacks and people of color across our nation. Many of us are grasping to make sense, to understand, to take action, and to educate ourselves for a brighter future.
While people around the world are marching against racism, they’re also reading about it. For this reason, we’ve created a brand new web page, Black Lives, Black Voices, with a list of books — available as audiobooks or downloadable books via Overdrive / Green Mountain Library Consortium (just use your library card to sign in) — as well as videos, podcasts, and articles, that we’ve curated for you – for all ages!

The Board of Trustees of the Wilder Memorial Library is pleased to announce that Jessica Clapp has accepted the position of Director of the Library and that Christine Mix has accepted the newly-created position of Assistant Librarian.

The Board is delighted that the two have agreed to continue to work together for the benefit of the Library and our community. Both Jessica and Christine are honored to be accepting their positions.
