Eliot D. Pratt Library: Home

The Eliot D. Pratt Library is located on the Plainfield, Vermont, campus of Goddard College.

Library Updates

Due to the recent decision by Goddard College’s Executive Committee and Board of Trustees to exclusively provide virtual support to our students for the F24 and S25 semesters, the Eliot D. Pratt Library is remote access only and closed for visitation until further notice. Virtual library services will continue to be offered as they are currently. Library staff will still be available to assist students over email, phone, and Zoom, and will mail requested physical materials. While this is a significant change, library staff are committed to continuing to provide excellent resources and library services for the Goddard Community. Please reach out to the library at library@goddard.edu with any questions

It's now even easier to find us!

The library's website has a new URL. We've switched to the more intuitive library.goddard.edu. The old research.goddard.edu address has been retired, so, if you hit a dead link try replacing the word "research" with the word "library" in the URL you have. Even better, start with this library home page and look for the content you need, as some older links may lead to outdated content. Email us if you get stuck!
