Toys for Tots & a Toy Giveaway

Since the holidays are almost upon us, we're excited to announce that we are hosting a Toy Giveaway on December 3, from 10 am to 1 pm in our Annex with Webutuck Teachers Association (WTA). Toys are new or gently used, for all ages, and will be available for free to anyone regardless of residence or library card status. Since Adopt a Family is moving on to handing out gift cards, instead of toys, we are helping them give out what is left of their collection of gifts. The gently used items have been collected by the WTA.

If anyone is interested in donating toys, we are also collecting for Toys for Tots this year. New, unwrapped toys may be brought to the NorthEast-Millerton Library now until early December. If you would like to sign up to receive toys from Toys for Tots visit hudson-valley.toysfortots.org

Check donations can be mailed to Adopt-A-Family at PO Box 880, Millerton, NY 12546.
