The House concurrent resolution No. R-93, introduced by Representative Burke of Brattleboro, designates April 10, 2025, as Museums and Libraries Day at the State House. The resolution highlights the vital role that museums and libraries play in democracy, serving as public forums for discussion, education, and community engagement. Vermont is noted for having the highest number of museums and libraries per capita in the nation, with 48 museums and 185 public libraries, which are often staffed by dedicated volunteers who are passionate about preserving local heritage and fostering community connections.

The resolution acknowledges the multifaceted nature of modern libraries, which extend beyond being mere book repositories to become community hubs that offer various services, including hosting events and providing access to technology. It also emphasizes the collaborative efforts of museums and libraries in Vermont, which often combine their resources to enhance educational opportunities. The resolution culminates in a call for recognition of the contributions of these institutions, particularly the Vermont Historical Society, which will be visiting the State House on that day to underscore their importance to the community.
