Welcome to Peacham Library
Peacham Library was incorporated over 200 years ago. We are open six days a week to provide services to members of the Peacham, Vermont community and to all who enter our doors. You can read more about the Library history here.
The Library has a nine member board that is responsible for financial operations. Our Director is responsible for the overall operation of the Library. The Director is aided in the day-to-day work of the Library by an Assistant Librarian, a Saturday Assistant and numerous volunteers.
We offer a wide range of services, from items for checkout to downloadable books, from onsite reference materials to online databases, from four onsite patron access computers to 24/7 wireless for personal computers, from an online catalog to interlibrary loan, from children’s programs to programs for adults. If you don’t find what you need, be sure to ask the person at the front desk for help, or send us an email. Visit the Services page to find out more about the program, activities and resources available through Peacham Library.
