Catamount’s Simple Living Lending Library for public libraries has 18 books, a dvd, and a wattmeter. One hundred Vermont and Upper Valley public libraries have hosted this collection and circulated the materials . A library’s responsibility with the Simple Living Lending Library is to create a display of the collection, circulate the books, and ship them to the next participating library. Catamount Earth Institute provides libraries with marketing materials for the collection and reminds librarians when it’s time to send the collection to another library. To schedule this collection at your library contact barbara.duncan@valley.net.
