The library now has a puzzle exchange! Bring a puzzle to take a puzzle.
We welcome puzzles for all ages. This is a great way to swap out all of those puzzles you've already completed, that are sitting in a pile in your closet and taking up space!!
The puzzle exchange is located inside the main library, through the 'Reference' doorway, and a quick turn to the right! The puzzles are on the shelf across from the card catalog computer and below the audiobooks!

Get Lit!
Book Group
Book club for the winter months will be held over Zoom. Email Lisa for details.
Thursday, December 16th at 7pm via Zoom!!
Call the library at 845-832-6605 and someone on staff will place a hold for you in the format you desire. E-book requests must be done by the patron through their device.
December's book is Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak.
"Hornak’s smart, delightfully funny, page-turning debut takes a posh, dysfunctional British family—two parents, two adult daughters, each with a secret—slaps on a week’s worth of quarantine at Christmastime, and adds a dash of pathos as well as a large helping of humor."
