Lydia’s Friends
“A public library is the most democratic thing in the world.” –Doris Lessing
Lydia’s Friends is Dummerston’s own friends-of-the-library group.
We are committed to promoting the success of the Lydia Taft Pratt Library. Lydia’s Friends engages in fundraising activities and advocates for the necessity of our town library.
To keep our library vibrant, Lydia’s Friends hosts an annual Geranium Festival & Book Sale, raises funds for our Museum Passes program, and lends our voice at Town Meeting.
We are always looking for new members. No contribution is too small.

Crepe Night at Scott Farm - July 2, 2025, 5:30-7:30pm
Crêpe Nights are seasonal monthly gatherings, held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, at Scott Farm from May through August. These are times to celebrate the harvest, good simple food, and community in a stunning setting – picnic style. Outdoor and indoor tables and chairs are provided as well as a sprawling grassy hillside ripe for picnic blankets, folding lawn chairs, and bare feet. Each month is co-hosted by a different local non-profit who benefits from the evening's proceeds.
