About

In late 2007, a group of approximately 15 libraries joined together to provide downloadable audio book service to the State of Vermont. The Green Mountain Library Consortium was born from these initial meetings, and now has over 125 members from public, school, academic, and special libraries, with a service population of over 340,000.

Our mission is to provide Vermont’s libraries access to goods and services otherwise unattainable, through the power of partnerships and collective purchasing. This is summed up in the consortium’s tagline: Vermont Libraries, Working Together.

The Board of Directors of the GMLC for 2009 are as follows:

• Lucinda Walker, secretary, Norwich Public Library (term expires 2012)
• Judah Hamer, treasurer, Ilsley Public Library(term expires 2010)
• Stephanie Chase, president, Stowe Free Library(term expires 2011)

The GMLC is in the process of obtaining federal 501(c)3 status.
