Notes from Our Director: 

The leadership team of Castleton Public Library is currently working on our long-range plan for the library. To shape our efforts in planning for the next few years, we are conducting a community survey. If you haven't already, please complete our 2017 Community Survey using this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CF8YLQ6
Your response will help us to serve our community better. Thank you!

Looking for something to do during the school break week later this month? We have a number of fun activities on our calendar -- a full list of our April programs is listed below.
