CANAAN LIBRARY
The Alice M. Ward Memorial Library was placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1980. This neo-Palladian style building was constructed in 1846 by Fernando Jacobs as a stagecoach stop and was donated to the town by Alice M. Ward in 1930 to be used as a public library. It houses over 11,200 books, 300 videos and 140 audio tapes.
Materials not available at the library may be obtained through the Vermont inter-library loan system.
