But until now it’s been hard for folks to figure it out on their own, while prices were out of reach for the majority of families. So VPIRG, the state’s largest consumer and environmental protection non-profit, decided to help by creating a solar co-op for Addison County residents and businesses.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">By partnering with Sunward, a Vergennes-based solar hot water company (their systems are made at their Winooski, Vermont factory), VPIRG has brought the cost of solar hot water down to about what Vermonters are already paying to heat their water with fuel oil, propane or electricity. According to Efficiency Vermont, the average family spends more than $600 per year on hot water. Through Solar Addison County, families can now heat their water with solar power <span style="font-weight: bold;">for about what they were already spending</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">while protecting themselves from oil price hikes. And once the system is paid off, hot water costs are dramatically reduced along with pollution. </span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Since the program was launched in mid-July, the number of solar hot water installations in Addison County has already more than quadrupled (there were only 17 installed in the previous decade; already the program has added more than 60, including 2 in Salisbury). The program will only be running through December 23<sup>rd</sup>, when VPIRG will move on to another county. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">To learn more about the program, please join us on December 1<sup>st</sup> at 6 pm at the Salisbury Free Public Library for a public info session on the program. While not required, RSVPs are appreciated at <a href="http://bit.ly/w39n2Z" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/w39n2Z</a>.

<br />
<br />Did you know your kids can come to the library after school on Tuesdays from 2:30-3:30?
<br />
<br />On Tuesdays while school is in session, we’ll spend a relaxed, unstructured hour devoted to kids. That's a good time to pick out some new books and read, unwind from school, play games, get help with homework, and make crafts.
<br />
<br />Computers are available, also--(written parental permission is required for Internet use, please speak to me if your child wants to use the Internet while at the library without you).
<br />
<br />For parents of kids at the Salisbury Community School, you can send a note to school in the morning and the bus driver will drop your kids off at the library. I’ll be there to welcome them.
<br />
<br />Pick-up time is 3:30.
<br />
<br />Kids of all ages are encouraged to visit the library with their parents at any time when we are open to get books, play in the playroom, and explore what we have to offer.
<br />
<br />Please call Jennifer to register for the Tuesday hour, or call with questions. My home number is 388-4014 and the library phone number is 458-0747.
<br />
<br />We look forward to seeing your whole family at the library!
<br />
