Join the Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Library support many important functions, including the summer reading program, summer concerts and the museum pass program. Joining the FOL is a wonderful way to become a library advocate and reinforce your commitment to the community. Meetings are at 7 p.m., the fourth Monday of each month. The next meeting is Monday, Nov. 25. Stop by and meet the new president, Sherry Burgoon. You can contact Sherry at .

The bus will leave from the Voorheesville Elementary School parking lot at 7 a.m. and arrive at Bryant Park in NYC at 10 a.m. For the return trip, we will be leaving NYC at 7 p.m. and arrive back in Voorheesville at 10 p.m. The FOL bus trips always fill quickly, so stop by the library at your earliest convenience. The price is $35 for members and $40 for non- members. Paid reservations will be accepted at the circulation desk at the library.
Saying goodbye to Mrs. Laiosa

We will be hosting an open reception in the community room and, courtesy of the Friends of the Library, there will be light refreshments. Please join us.
