Our project is completed. We have a beautiful new rug in the basement which makes our Children’s Room and the Hudson River Room look great! We also have a new floor in the bathroom that is beautiful and will be much easier to keep clean. Thanks to Country Carpets for a wonderful job. Thanks to the Southern Adirondack Library System for the loan of the book carts to help with moving the books. And thanks to our crew of staff and volunteers for all their hard work – Mica, Marcus, Beth, Ted, Abby, Ares, Paula and Michael.

The week of January 11-16 we will be replacing the rug in the Children’s Room and putting new tile in the bathroom. This will lead to a bit of upheaval here during that week. The work in the bathroom will take place on Wednesday the 13th while we are closed, so that should not be a problem. However, the downstairs will need to be closed for most of the week to allow for moving of materials out, replacement of the rug, and moving of materials back into the Children’s Room. The main floor of the library will remain open (baring any unforseen complications.) Some children’s materials will be moved upstairs for the week and will be available during that time. Children’s programs scheduled for the week will go on as usual, but will be held on the main floor of the library.
***Additionally, because the public printer in located in the basement it will be unreachable at the end of the week (Thursday through Saturday) and printing from the public computers may be affected.
***Monday January 18th we are closed for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Sometimes life just moves too fast. October is half over already and I’m just doing my monthly update. Sigh… Michael is very busy now that storytime has started again. (That’s Monday nights at 7 and Friday mornings at 10:30.) He is also doing outreach at Head Start on Tuesday mornings. Our new display in the case features Adirondack Guides and Hermits and includes a nifty framed photo and signature card of Noah John Rondeau.
We are open on Halloween, come in and show off your costume.

It’s back! Pre-school story time is Monday night at 7pm and Friday morning at 10:30am. The only exceptions are when Michael or Becky are on vacation or when the library is closed for a holiday.
