Notes from Our Director: 

Many thanks to the 70-plus people who visited the library during our recent Renovation Open House! It was a wonderful show of support for the library, and I appreciated the opportunity to meet many people in the community and to showcase our lovely space. 

Spring has finally arrived, and our library's activities are growing along with the buds and blossoms. In addition to our ongoing programs, you will see a number of new library programs added to our May calendar. We will also soon be welcoming a new part-time librarian to the library's staff, who will be dedicated to coordinating our Youth Services Department. 

Also during the month of May, the Friends of Castleton Public Library will be holding a special American Girl raffle to benefit the library. The American Girl doll Kaya, including a number of Kaya's accessories and outfits, is the raffle's first prize (total estimated retail value of $600.00). The raffle includes retired American Girl products that can no longer be purchased from the company. Raffle tickets can be purchased in the library from May 1 through May 30 for $2.00 each or 3 tickets for $5.00. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of iPads for the library! The drawing will be held on Saturday, May 30, after the close of the library's American Girl Themed Tea Party. Learn more about the raffle here. 

See below for a list of upcoming events at Castleton Public Library. Information about the library is also available 24 hours a day on our website, Facebook, and Twitter. 

Do you have suggestions for programs, events, or services you'd like to see at the library? We would love to hear from you! Give us a call at 518-732-0879 or send an email to director@castletonpubiclibrary.org.

Best,
