📖 About Dorothy Alling Memorial Library
The Dorothy Alling Memorial Library is the public library of Williston, Vermont, a community in Chittenden County east of Burlington along the I-89 corridor. Named in honor of Dorothy Alling, the library sits on the Williston Village Green beside the historic Old Brick Church and Town Hall, making it a social and civic anchor of the community. The library delivers books and other materials to home-bound Williston residents, senior citizen homes and day care centers through its Outreach program, and operates a bookmobile in the summer months that visits neighborhoods across town. The collection supports adults and children alike, and the library provides public computers, reference services and interlibrary loan access. It belongs to the Green Mountain Library Consortium, giving cardholders access to the shared Koha catalog and Vermont's statewide digital resources, including Libby/OverDrive and the Palace Project app. A Library Board of Trustees governs the library in coordination with the Town of Williston; an active expansion project is underway to meet the community's growing needs.
