Vermont has the HIGHEST NUMBER OF LIBRARIES per capita in the Union! 184 to be precise. They range from beautifully historic to tiny, cutting edge to make-do. Today their responsibilities are rapidly changing, shifting from being the habitual pillars of the common good, to de facto community centers for their towns. A place to gather and network, access resources and even ideas for career choice and economic opportunity." - David Rosane
