Whether your child reads one book or one hundred, attended one program or several, ALL PARTICIPANTS are invited to our Summer Celebration with the No Strings Marionettes on Aug. 13th, 5:30-7pm at Maple Street Park. Winners for this year's childrens raffles will be announced before the show. This event is hosted in collaboration with EJRP.

The Stinky Cheese Man

Why does a little old lady make a magical friend out of savory foodstuff? Hunger, creativity, loneliness? Discover the inspiration as you treat yourself to the magic of a traditional marionette theater, where unique, Vermont-made puppets frolic through delightful scenery in this tale that sniffs out the value of friendship and acceptance.

Play hide and seek in the stacks, eat ice cream, and find out who will win the teen summer reading raffle drawings. Want a chance to win? Registered teens can earn tickets by showing us their reading log, attending programs, and volunteering. Meet at the pavilion for introductions and a game.

"Quaint library with super welcoming and helpful staff. Despite this library being on the smaller side they have a great kids area with thoughtful resources and an easy pick up area for those times you just need to quickly grab learning materials!"

"Fantastic Library in the heart of Essex Junction! Walking distance to the train, bus station, five corners farmer's market, Summit Street School and (soon-to-be) Summit Community Natural Playground and more! Lots of great activities and selections for all! Kat is the best in the youth department! Brownell Library has done a marvelous job connecting itself to the surrounding community!"
