Thanks to the Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers Ed Illiano and Barry Leibowitz and our
Planting the Garden
program participants, the Library Garden is bearing fruit...or, more precisely, vegetables. Stop by and help yourself to the vegetables and herbs we have picked and placed in a basket inside the library.

Although we are still in summer, it's not too early to start thinking about getting ready for school. Once again, we will be filling our big red bucket with new school supplies to distribute to local children in need. Please bring your donations of
new
supplies, such as notebooks, pens, pencils, markers and backpacks, to the library so every child can get a good start to the new year. We will be collecting supplies during the month of August through September 13th, in the library during business hours. Many thanks to Verizon and the Wireless Zone of Patterson for kicking off this year's drive with their generous donation of backpacks filled with supplies.
