We are available by email, live chat (click the chat bubble in the corner during normal business hours), or by phone (802-877-2211), please be patient and we will reach back out to you as soon as possible.
We have greatly increased our digital offerings. Please check out our online resources to check out all the ebooks, audiobooks, databases, and more that you can access with your Bixby Library card. Check our events calendar for virtual programming.
If you live in Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes or Waltham we can sign you up remotely for a Bixby Library card. Please email Maddy or Laksamee with your Name, Address, Phone Number, and Email. We can help you get a card and provide instruction on accessing resources.
