It was a bittersweet farewell yesterday, as we wish Faye the best of luck in retirement!  Donna will take command of the front desk along with Beth, and Faye left knowing things were in good hands…  Many people showed keen interest in the library and we welcome the addition of new “substitutes” for our front desk –

New audio dvds and books on learning German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Russian, French and Spanish are in.

State and Federal tax forms are available at the library.  The IRS and NYS provide forms and  a limited number of instruction books for the most commonly used forms. If you can’t find the form you need, we can help you find them online as well.  New forms and publications come in daily. Call ahead to see if we have what you need.

The Friends of the Library have announced their winter book sale!  It will be held at the Town Hall on February 19, 2011 from 10-2.  If you are around, your assistance is welcome- set up on Friday at 9am and Saturday 2:00 take-down. Let me know if you are available!

Happy Holidays to all!

The Indian Lake Library will be closed on Christmas Eve, Friday night and Saturday, Christmas Day.  We will also close on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day

“One World, Many Stories”.  What a great theme!  Planning is underway. Let me know if you have ideas-

Library use is slowing down a bit, leaves are changing and visitors return for weekends only. Change is in the air along with the cool, fresh breeze.  Time to catch up on all those books!  Also time to submit your programming ideas for the coming months. Please include your preferred time and day of the week!
