I will call tomorrow and see what I can find out for you. The towns here are very small. Our library is only open two days a week, and for only a few hours each time. I will call and get you the hours of the libraries you asked about. I find that in the town of St. Albans, the people in the town hall are extremely friendly, and you are free to look at all the old town books and do research there. I haven't done any in Hartland, but will check it out and let you know. I live in Corinna.
