The Deborah Rawson Memorial Library is a 5,000 square foot building situated next to
the Underhill I.D. School and close to the Brown's River Middle School. It offers wonderful
views of Mt. Mansfield from the main reading room complete with a fireplace, and also an

Together the library staff, board of trustees and volunteers strive to provide friendly
and helpful service, and to offer a collection that meets the needs of the
Jericho/Underhill community.
