WSPL Youth Newsletter
November 2025
A few weeks ago, our Storytime attendees were visited by Guest Reader Jane Luchsinger from Narrowsburg Beautification, then got to pot their own trees to take home. 
Materials were provided by a Sullivan 180 grant to Narrowsburg Beautification!
 
Storytime meets every Tuesday at 10am at the Narrowsburg Branch.
Want to sign up to be a guest reader? Contact Miss C at cstratton@rcls.org.

Wow, Fall has truly fallen here in the Catskills! I'm loving these chilly mornings, cozy evenings and all the library fun in between. 
 
If you have attended any of our programs recently, 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!
