Richford Library Proposes Split-Day Arrangement to Resolve June 28 Scheduling Conflict
The Richford Public Library board has proposed dividing June 28 between the second Stanstead–Richford gathering and the Episode Seven listening event. The morning-and-evening arrangement would require both groups to reach their own agreement on terms.
RICHFORD, Vermont — The Richford Public Library's board of trustees has proposed a split-day arrangement to resolve a scheduling conflict that had been building around the library's reading room on June 28.
The board, responding to an informal inquiry passed along by Colette Aubin-Roy on Saturday morning, indicated it is open to dividing the space between a morning session for the second Stanstead–Richford gathering and an evening slot for the Episode Seven listening event — both of which had been seeking the same date.
Aubin-Roy, who carried the gathering organizers' initial inquiry to the board, said the response was well-calibrated. "Practical in the way that leaves the decision with the right people," she said, adding that she had forwarded the proposal to the organizers of both groups without a recommendation of her own.
The board set one condition: the arrangement proceeds only if organizers from both groups reach their own agreement on the terms. The library is not brokering the deal — it is opening the door.
The matter is, by any measure, a small logistical one: a reading room, a Saturday, two communities that have been finding reasons to gather.
Organizers from both groups are expected to be in contact in the coming days.
