Smallest library in Vermont reopens after nearly 70-years.

Everybody clown car!

A small town in Vermont is reopening its library for the first time since 1948. Not just any library, but the smallest in the entire state. It measures 10ft x 17ft, and has 800 books available to loan.

Well, James Patterson is popular is seems.

The West Danville library originally opened as a gas station in the 1930s before making the natural transition into a library. ((((scratches head)))) For whatever reason, by 1948 the library closed and remained vacant until today, when it will have its grand reopening.

The 1930s: Gas stations as libraries. Naturally.

You'll never look at your local Mobil, Shell, or Exxon station the same way again now.
