"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.”
― Andrew Carnegie

Library Leadership

Library Staff

Picture
Library Director - Madeline Helser, MSLIS
Madeline started her library career in Indiana in 2011, where she got her first library job as an assistant in the Children's section. She got her Master's Degree from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2015. She then moved on to South Carolina, where she worked as a youth services manager, a county-wide youth services coordinator, and a library branch manager. Before moving to Vermont, they worked as an executive director for a poverty focused non-profit, as a children's musical theater director, as a florist, then finally as a coordinator for a non-profit that worked with food rescue. Madeline lives in Jamaica with their partner Vera, their two cats, and of course Lottie, the library dog, who you will often meet when visiting the library.
