Notes from Our Director: 

It's the time of year to give thanks! Any time this November, stop into the library and write down something that you’re grateful for on a paper leaf. We’ll add it to the gratitude tree in our front window! Watch the tree grow all month and see what people in our community are thankful for.

We're also offering a special opportunity to say "thank you" to members of our military this November. From Monday, November 7 through Saturday, November 12 (closed on 11/11), we'll have an Operation Gratitude Letter-Writing Station available during our open hours – write a letter to deployed troops, veterans, new recruits, first responders, or wounded warriors. It takes only five minutes of your day, but will bring lasting joy to the recipients. People of all ages are invited to participate. 

Finally, just in time for your holiday shopping, the Friends of Castleton Public Library are holding their annual Barnes & Noble Bookfair Fundraiser. At Barnes & Noble in Colonie Center on Saturday, November 19, you can shop and support your local library at the same time. The day will also include storytimes and special presentations! See the calendar below for a listing of the day's events. Can’t make it to shop? See the event listing for a code to shop online. 

See below for a complete list of our November programs. We hope you'll join us! 

Best,
