Each child received a t-shirt, certificate, treasure chest and a book.  To end the evening we had an ice cream social.  It was a fun event!  Be sure to join us next summer!!

Our Kids Book Club has begun!  The book to be read is Help I am Prisoner in the Library by Eth Clifford.  Books can be picked up now.  Kids entering third grade through fifth grade can participate.  Join us on Wednesday August 23 at 6:30pm to talk about the book, do an activity and have a snack.

Join us on Friday August 18 at 6:30pm for our pajama party.  Wear your pj's, bring your pillow, favorite animal and/or blanket, and your favorite bedtime story. 

Calling all rug hookers!!  Join the rug hookers on Monday August 21 at 6:30pm.  Bring your own materials and work.  Interested in rug hooking?  Join them and they will teach you how!

On Wednesday August 30 at 6:30pm come to the library for Kindermusik!  Join Amy Hathaway for a demonstration class titled, "Animals Everywhere".  This is a music and movement program for newborns to age 5.

Check out the Community Artwork Project on display now in the Library’s Program room.  The theme is our summer reading program, Books: A Treasure.  Young and old came and made pieces to hang.  Stop in and view the artistic talents of the community.

We are looking for volunteers or families to clean the library.  All it takes is a couple hours once a week and you would be helping us out tremendously.  If you are interested please contact me at 315-684-9130, email me at mforward@midyork.org or stop in. I am setting up a schedule of people and if you would like to volunteer for one month (or more) please let me know! 

We are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12pm to 8pm, Tuesday 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
