Vermont Libraries, Working Together
In late 2007, a group of approximately 15 libraries joined together to provide downloadable audio book service to the State of Vermont. The Green Mountain Library Consortium was officially born in 2008 from these initial meetings, and now has over 155 members from public, school, academic and special libraries, with a service population of over 400,000.
Our mission is to provide Vermont's libraries with access to goods and services otherwise unattainable, through the power of partnerships and collective purchasing. This is summed up in the consortium's tagline: Vermont Libraries, Working Together.
This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Vermont State Library.The ListenUp!Vermont Collection Development Policy was developed in 2016-2017 by the GMLC Board and approved in May 2017.
