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 our front window. Watch the number of leaves grow all month and see what people in our community are thankful for.

Also, 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 23, you can shop and support your local library at the same time. Be sure to visit the Friends of CPL table at Barnes & Noble before you make your purchases!

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

Best,

Melissa Tacke
