Please Do Not Remove: A Collection Celebrating Vermont Literature and Libraries

Through twenty works of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction inspired by old library checkout cards, Please Do Not Remove anthologizes our rich literary culture through the voices of Vermont writers. Created, curated, and edited by writer Angela Palm, the book celebrates library ephemera and a love of literature. Inspired by libraries, librarians, or antiquated signatures and book titles on checkout cards, Vermont writers pen characters, prose, poems, and plot lines in celebration of reading, books, and public libraries.
Contributors include Gary Margolis, Jessica Hendry Nelson, Jericho Parms, Karin Gottshall, Tim Brookes, Daniel Lusk, Lene Gary, Erika Nichols, Penelope Cray, Angela Palm, Rob Friesel, Hillary Read, Shelagh Connor Shapiro, Kate Sykes, Niels Rinehart, Malisa Garlieb, David Dillon, Tamra Higgins, Mary Jane Dickerson, and Emily Arnason Casey.
Ten percent of the book's net proceeds will be donated to the Vermont Library Association.
