RICHFORD, Vermont — On Sunday evening, Colette Aubin-Roy noticed two new notes had appeared on the painted drywall panel beside the original cork board. She found a pushpin, wrote out a small header card in both languages — Suite / Continued — and pinned it to the wall near the periodicals shelf.

That was, she said Monday morning, about the size of it.

"It wasn't really a decision so much as it was obvious," Aubin-Roy said, standing near the board before the library opened for the week. "There was more wall. The notes needed somewhere to go."

The Richford Public Library's community board has been accumulating in layers over recent weeks, beginning on the original cork panel before spilling onto an adjacent section of drywall as responses — many of them bilingual, woven into a loose call-and-response across English and French — continued to arrive. As of Monday, three surfaces run along the better part of the library's north wall: the original cork panel, the painted drywall overflow, and the new periodicals-adjacent section Aubin-Roy marked Sunday. The archive is handwritten throughout and none of it formally labeled, except for her small penciled card at the edge of the newest section.

Aubin-Roy described her thinking as practical rather than curatorial. She was not, she said, trying to make anything of it.

"I just didn't want someone to see the overflow section getting crowded and think it was done," she said. "It didn't feel done."

Asked whether she had informed library administration or the principality's cultural services office, she paused. "Not yet," she said. "I'm not sure I need to. I haven't decided."
