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 and 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.

Starting this month, our Pajama Storytime will now be held weekly. Join us each Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. for a story and simple craft. Feel free to bring along a stuffed animal friend or wear your PJs! We also hold a weekly Family Storytime every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. There's no need to register for either of our storytimes -- just come and join the fun and learning! 

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 18, you can shop and support your local library at the same time. The day will also include a number of special events (see below for a listing of the day's events). Can’t make it in to shop on 11/18? See the event listing for a code to shop online from 11/18-11/23. 

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

Best,

Melissa Tacke, Library Director
