Working as a Trustee is a great way to learn about public libraries and to also volunteer in a library.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/6780a25e-e71b-4d67-ba88-4fcf4e2dbce1/Bruce+heaeshot+11.11.21.jpg Trustees/Staff - Bruce Shields Bruce Shields retired a few years ago after careers as a sawmill operator, timber industry lobbyist, farm store owner, and teaching Medieval English at university.

John is very excited to contribute to the Board’s efforts to preserve this amazing institution and to continuously rethink how it can best serve area communities today and in the years ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/81bc5d8b-4b38-4905-a5b5-413dce60f719/MW+fall+2014.jpg Trustees/Staff - Mary White Mary is a retired professor of medical humanities, a summer resident in Greensboro since she was five, and a voracious reader who weekly consumed dozens of books from this library from the moment she learned to read. She says, “I remember Miss Jean as a astute observer who was always ready to share the next good book; a convincing fencer when she played Hamlet, parading in her chariot on Old Home Days, her love of dogs, ice cream, Sunday dinners, and good conversation. As a trustee, I appreciate all the more what Miss Jean gave the Craftsbury-Greensboro communities through the library, her activities, and her leadership over her lifetime here. In this centenary year for the library, I’m grateful for the opportunity to strengthen it as a community resource for decades to come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1627480462369-RECXH73PPG8GWTMSIVSD/IMG-2491.JPG Trustees/Staff - Margaret Rowell q wriuox2iu3rhqcrf3qgcru12oxwx3rehlqjkaehqabehsbxqcaegdhuqg3wdhgq2ewgk2eqh2egdh2gqehsx2q3egxu3qgeixug2qeiguw https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/0a037967-355e-4925-8cbc-74318302d858/fullsizeoutput_2b4.jpeg Trustees/Staff - Natalie Kinsey Natalie has been a patron of the Simpson Library all her life, from a family where five generations have been patrons.

Wooden drawers are not ideal for paper and photographic materials, so we have begun an archiving project. The goals of the project are three-fold: *Discovering and documenting, through written record and digital images *Putting materials into archival storage *Creating access to the materials through programming, rotating exhibits, and the creation of a digital catalog. Thank you to the Vermont Community Foundation’s Northeast Kingdom Fund for their generous support of this project! If you’d like to volunteer to help with this project, let us know by stopping by the library, sending an email or filling out the form on our volunteer page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/be67b831-a928-48a6-9918-2c961d515a95/IMG_8808+%281%29.JPG Archives - Bunnee Grant’s Films In 2021 we received a donation of 16 mm films taken by Bunnee Grant, an amateur photographer and filmmaker who worked with with Miss Jean’s family most of her life. These films were shot in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s, and include footage of local farming (haying, sugaring, cutting oats), winter scenes in East Craftsbury, as well as films of some of Miss Jean’s Shakespeare productions. On November 19th, 2021, we reviewed 30 of these films using two manual film viewers with the help of Rachel Onuf, the director of Vermont Historic Records, Fred Pond from the Vermont Historical Society, and Mary Albee. The films were declared to be in good condition and of good quality. We are excited to get these films digitized and accessible to the community! Thanks to a grant from the Craftsbury Community Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, we were able to have the collection digitized.

in, past and present On display at the Simpson Library, you will find an eclectic collection of artifacts from Craftsbury and around the world. A pair of antique spectacles dug up in East Craftsbury can be found diplayed with a stalactite from the Bighorn Mountains. In a 1997 letter from John Heidger accompanying a donation of artifacts to the library he says, “I have spent most of my life in some sort of Nature job. I have always attributed this to my early upbringing including the patronage of the Simpson Library. Without a doubt, the countless books I checked out of the library on Africa, the Amazon and other far away places as well as the books on wildlife and nature helped to send me in this direction.” https://www.jwsimpsonmemorial.org/history daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639693586086-811S5H8ACWRIOB5BM22D/8B805430-8474-4D7E-B6BA-EEF3BD09E666.jpg History Some pictures from the library's first year, 1921-1922 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639693655015-ZK2T2W6F4I441KN00EAE/76B37E2B-1EA3-4937-8317-D2889CCC5299.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639693395383-GE10QJDOY2PPZJP3Y3EN/D542C9B4-1125-4895-B603-FD1693A2457B.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/23af40cd-afef-47d3-afa9-6a86ef0361c6/John-W-Simpson-Library---exterior.jpg History - History of the library The library was founded in 1921 by Jean Walker Simpson, in memory of her father John Woodruff Simpson. Jean was 24 years old at that time. The building was originally a general store operated in the mid-1800’s by Jean’s grandfather, James Simpson, and later by Jean’s uncle George until he passed away in1913. Following her father’s death in 1920, Jean purchased the building and converted it from store to library. As her cousin, Mary Jean, so aptly noted: “It is still the old store. The difference now is that now instead of food and clothing, it is dispensing ideas and ideals.” We are fortunate to have the following account written for the Orleans County Monitor in 1925 by Mary Jean Simpson. Her delightful and informative narrative was shared at the Craftsbury Bicentennial and is reprinted here as a Mary Jean’s Memory (PDF) with thanks to Mr. John West who is in possession the original copy. Whether it’s playing ping pong, gathering for girl scout meetings, or rehearsing Shakespeare, there are many wonderful stories of the library, past and present.

This photo features CLiF founder, Duncan McDougall, sharing a story with Craftsbury Academy students on the Common at the grant kickoff event in October. The grant includes $500 of books for the school, $2000 of books for the library, an author visit and book giveaway in the spring, and a mini-grant for family programming at the library. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/cddaa7b1-5d3d-4750-a5bc-abf1d99e898f/Funnery+2021.jpeg Partnerships - Get Thee to the Funnery: Exploring the life of summertime Shakespeare in the area, 1923 to the present Peter Gould, the founder of Get Thee to the Funnery, has been producing summer Shakespeare with area teens for the past 23 years. When he started in 1998, he was unaware of the rich Shakespeare tradition that preceeded him from 1923- 1973 with Miss Jean and the East Hill Players. We are working together to create an exhibit that explores and celebrates both of these traditions, and considers the ways in which they are connected. This collaboration includes going through the costumes in the attic, researching their origin, making repairs as needed, and reviving the library costume lending collection that was active up until a few years ago. https://www.jwsimpsonmemorial.org/share-a-story daily 0.75 2021-11-17 https://www.jwsimpsonmemorial.org/miss-jean-simpson daily 0.75 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639154366715-62TO2ECG5SSXTW9OBM6S/D3AE51A5-CEDA-462F-B9B8-FDCD08D35C94.jpg Miss Jean Simpson Jean, age 16, with her father https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639153934686-K1PDSXT3VL8TGWQN5RFL/79E69574-C021-4764-B827-F9015FACB584.jpg Miss Jean Simpson Jean, age 13, with her father John Woodruff Simpson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/cb4eeb3c-6865-419a-9ee5-19b27a2bd9de/E8ED1A0A-4683-49B7-A833-483565C5C5C1.jpeg Miss Jean Simpson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639239561682-XDGN4CQNC36UCRERMKWZ/DABC92B0-29F4-4D77-9F5D-E3C8BEB1DBA9.jpg Miss Jean Simpson Jean and her mother, Kate, hiking in the white mountains, 1919 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639239749353-ZWXWAS8AKBIO9RNLUNGO/2F23DBFD-D1A8-4994-B630-C52E98E7568E.jpg Miss Jean Simpson Jean and her mother on the summit of Mount Cannon, NH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/1639240630928-NMIX85HQ2I8ITJFSHC10/D894B404-7DBB-4874-8F33-7D3B5B84F36A.jpg Miss Jean Simpson Miss Jean as Hamlet with the East Hill Players https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608b17513878046da2426380/7fa107b0-b199-4edf-b0de-d4ffd268d41c/Miss-Jean-Simpson.jpg Miss Jean Simpson - Jean Walker Simpson, 1897- 1980 Jean Simpson founded the library in what was her grandfather’s and then her uncle’s general store in East Craftsbury. She founded the East Hill Players in 1923, and for the next five decades organized community Shakespeare and other community theater productions in the summertime. She was instrumental in the start of Old Home Day, an annual community celebration in Craftsbury that continues to this day. Many remember her riding in a chariot in the parade. She led the girl scouts for decades, and they held their meetings at the library. Many remember the twinkle in her eye, her love of her dogs, and her daily swims in the brook and walks up Patmos Peak.
