What’s new at the library this week? Very little! We’re still closed, so please keep enjoying our eAudiobooks, eBooks, and streaming services, courtesy of Hoopla, Libby, RBDigital, and Overdrive. You can also attend our programs online, from Chair Yoga to Storytime with your very own local yoga instructors and storytellers, as well as see links …
How do we library when we aren’t allowed to library? (See: Executive Order 202.6 for more information.) While we’re not quite ready to open, we are expanding our programs out to the information superhighway, including one where you can earn gift cards to local businesses for reading at home! How about that? Okay so I’m …
After we closed for a couple weeks, I found an event on our calendar titled “April Fool’s Ideas,” and there was a short list of goofy pranks we could put on for the public. Rather than file these away for 2021 and most likely lose them, here’s a quick rundown on the silliness I had …
What’s new at the Library this week? Well, you can’t come to us and we can’t come to you, but we can still connect and communicate. Not everyone reads this column and knows that our dropbox is locked, that holds have been suspended, and that due dates have been extended until July 1, so how …
Disclaimer: Look, a lot of this is about how this is a newspaper column. If you are reading this, you’re aware that this is not a newspaper. Once again, I will remind my lovely readers that these blogs are just an alternate version of the MidYork Weekly column. Due to the nature of our ever-changing …
With so many updates from the village, county, state, and federal level, one thing is for sure – change is certain. This is probably the third version of this column I’ve written in the last two days. Just in case everything I’m writing about in this column changes again by the time it’s published next …
It was announced recently that Governor Cuomo’s executive budget proposes cuts to library aid by $25 million ($5 million for general aid and $20 million for construction grant aid). Sound familiar? This exact scenario has played out (albeit with different figures) year after year, forcing library advocates to assemble in Albany and meet with their …
Here’s the first thing I like about Elliot Townsend (we’ll get to that). He suggested a better headline than mine. Yeah, yeah, even though it was due for a punchup, he just took care of it. I just got an email from him, and he’s all “New Kid on the Block (I forgot your original …
We all get bumps and bruises from time to time. As it turns out, so do American Girl® Dolls! And just like us, they too need to visit a hospital when a band-aid (or in their case, acne cream, a sandwich bag, and sunshine) just isn’t enough. Kirsten and Felicity had two separate incidents recently, …
Okay, first off, if you are reading this before February 21 at 11 a.m., there’s still time to get raffle tickets to win the rocking chair in our entryway. Tickets are $5 and if you buy them RIGHT NOW, there’s a good chance your ticket will be on top of the drawing pile. Just sayin’. …
