RICHFORD, Vermont — The note arrived folded in half, tucked alongside the returned card. In French, in careful handwriting, a Richford resident described a single moment from a documentary episode as "the first time I have heard someone explain what the border felt like from the other side of it."

Colette Aubin-Roy, a staff member at the Richford Public Library, pinned it to the community board Saturday afternoon, beside the annotations left by the card's first borrower. Then she stepped back and looked at what was forming.

"It wasn't planned," she said. "Nobody said, let's make a board about this. People just started leaving things."

The card in question is one of the library's offline media cards preloaded with the first three episodes of Nous Sommes RONA / We Are RONA, the documentary series produced through the RONAn cultural archive initiative. This borrower had taken it out specifically to revisit Episode Two, the instalment focused on Montreal's francophone neighbourhoods — a choice Aubin-Roy said she has noticed before. "That episode resonates differently here," she said. "Richford is right on the line. People here have family on both sides of where that border used to be, and some of what that felt like was never really talked about out loud."

The card has been returned ahead of its loan deadline and is available again for borrowing.

The community board itself has accumulated quietly. What started as a single annotation from the series' first borrower now holds two handwritten notes in two languages, a rough hand-drawn map someone left without explanation, and a printed photograph of a farmhouse that Aubin-Roy believes is somewhere outside Sutton, just across the former Quebec border. No one has claimed it. "I keep thinking someone will come in and say that's mine," she said. "So far, nobody has."

She is not curating it, exactly. "I just make sure things don't fall off," she said. "The rest of it is doing its own thing."
