Notes from Our Director: 

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Summer Reading Program! We hope you enjoyed a summer full of fun and learning. 

Have you visited our StoryWalk at Schodack Island State Park lately? A StoryWalk uses pages from a children’s picture book along a walking path for families to enjoy a story and the outdoors at the same time. The StoryWalk begins next to the playground at Schodack Island State Park and is available all day, every day. The book selection changes at the beginning of each month. The StoryWalk will continue through the end of October. Check it out!

Looking ahead to October, the library is also preparing for our third annual Free Halloween Costume Giveaway on Saturday, October 14 (save the date!). 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 from through October 13. Thank you!

See below for a complete list of our September programs. We hope you'll stop in and see us this fall! 

Best,

Melissa Tacke, Library Director
