Notes from Our Director: 

We're offering a variety of classes and events for all ages this month, with lots of Halloween fun!  We're seeking donations for our third annual Free Halloween Costume Giveaway on Saturday, October 14 from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. We're currently accepting donations of any clean, used or new costumes, masks, wigs, and accessories for children, teens, and adults. Donations can be dropped off any time during the library's hours of operation through October 13. Thank you!

Also, don't miss our Halloween Parade and Party, co-sponsored by the library, the Castleton Fire Department, and the Castleton-on-Hudson Main Street Association. The parade leaves from the library at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, led by a fire truck! The parade ends at the firehouse, where we'll enjoy treats, crafts, and games. All ages are welcome.  

Finally, this fall, be sure to check out our new bicycle repair station! It includes all the tools necessary for basic repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes. Tools are securely attached to the repair station with stainless steel cables. The repair station also includes hanger arms to allow pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments, and an air pump for filling tires. The repair station is located on the front lawn of CPL, next to the building’s front sidewalk.

See below for a complete list of our October programs!

Best,
