Vermont Planning Association Library Relocated Next Door



As part of VPA's transition from VLCT, as the VPA’s host, the lending library is being relocated.  The attached publications will now be available via interlibrary loan based at Burnham Library in Colchester.  There are other books and material as well that will hopefully be cataloged at a future date.  Anyone with a library card from any public library in the State can request one of these reports.  We will be putting more training materials and other past conferences in the members only section of our website.  Please visit when you have a chance!
