September 2025

Thank you for an Amazing Summer!
We Colored, We Crafted, We Conquered!
 
Thank you to everyone who attended our summer reading program! This year, nearly 600 kids and parents helped us "color our world" across 40+ programs! Not only is this a huge increase in attendance, it's particularly exciting because the majority of our summer programs took place inside our libraries for the first time since 2022!
 
Readers can still stop in to any branch in Callicoon, Narrowsburg or Jeffersonville to pick up a Reading & Activity Tracker for a chance to win prizes throughout the summer!
 
Don't forget: Reading Trackers are due Saturday, August 30th to be eligible for prizes!

Miss C's Corner
 
Hi all, Miss C here!
 
After taking a short, much needed break, I am well-rested and SO excited for a new school year! That means lots of fun programs, both old and new, that will spark your child's creativity, curiosity, and joy for reading.
 
If you attended any of our programs this summer, please take a moment to fill out this feedback form! I really do look at all the feedback, and it helps me to shape our upcoming programs to fit our community's needs.
 
Please remember, as always, registration is required for ALL programs! Drop-ins will be welcomed as long as there is space, but programs with low or no registration may be cancelled... so please, please register! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! 
 
Thank you all for being a part of our library's community!
