Tis The Season For Giving
The season of giving here at the Library started in October with The Great Giveback, with so many generous patrons donating much-needed items for Hudson River Housing. It continued with our Annual Appeal, with generous donor support that enables us to keep offering a variety of programs and materials.
When we were closed in October due to flooding, many of you expressed concern, provided moral support, and sent positive vibes which were so appreciated. In November, we all gave thanks to be reopen and serving our patrons again!
The spirit of giving continues through December 22 with your donations to the U.S. Marine Corp Toys for Tots program (box inside the Library). Just a small gift will put a smile on a child's face this holiday season!
Thank you so much for your generosity, good wishes, and support over the past year. Wishing you and yours a peaceful holiday season and a happy new year!
