Pet Donation Drive for USPCA!
 This December we will be running a drive to collect pet food, toys, and other needed items to help support the pets at the Ulster County SPCA who are waiting for their fur-ever home! Whenever someone donates at the bin near the front desk during open library hours, they will get a raffle ticket for the chance to win our Mystery Prize! Please help us ensure these pets have a happy holiday season! This drive will run December 4th-January 1st.

"The fifth installment in the iconic adventure series easily manages to capture the attitude and fun of the original trilogy. Harrison Ford returns to bring his iconic hero to life in a new decade, while Mads Mikkelsen plays the ruthless antagonist and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a solid mischievous partner for Indiana. Fans of the series will enjoy watching the action and slight mayhem follow Indy as he races to stop a long-lost relic from falling into evil hands. Coupled with impressive action and lots of familiar faces, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is sure to be a hit among action fans for years to come."
