From the Director
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Friends of the Library booth at the street fair on September 17. It was great seeing everyone and we so appreciate your support of the library. Thanks also to DPW for transporting all the boxes and setting up the tent. We couldn’t do it without you!!!
During the month of October, the library will be participating in the Great Give Back. We will be collecting pet food and supplies to be donated to Baxter’s Pet Pantry, a division of LI Cares. A donation box will be located inside the library by the front window.
We are once again asking everyone to NOT put donations in the book bins outside the library. They are for library materials only. Donations will be accepted inside the library during regular business hours.
