1. Friends of the Wardsboro Library Marker
In 1999, a dedicated group of community members got together with the goal of expanding the Wardsboro Community Library. Their fund raising efforts enabled them to purchase the current library location and they began the hard work of renovating the building to create a new home for the library.
We thank the following individuals for creating and laying the foundation for the Friends of the Wardsboro Library as a 501(c)3 volunteer organization that is the owner of the Gloria Danforth Memorial Building and responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of this wonderful community resource that houses the Wardsboro Public Library.
