Introducing…

The Highland Park Winter Blast has been changed to Saturday, January 29th! Stop by from 2:00 to 6:00 for a story, scavenger hunt, ice skating, snowman contest, ride the carousel, and more!

Due to the holiday the July 5 book sale has been cancelled.  The library will be open that day.  The next book sale is Friday, July 19.  Please note we are not open Saturdays for the summer until September 7.

GFJ has started digitizing parts of its collections. We started with old local newspapers,  a treasure trove of local history and genealogy. The collection will eventually be expanded, but 1855-1915 issues are now available at: www.endicott.advantage-preservation.com

Possible Job Opening: Library Page part-time.  Variable hours up to 19 per week, shelving returned items and other tasks as assigned.  $7.85 per hour.  Deadline for application is Sept. 21, 2013.  Application is available for download at: http://gobroomecounty.com/files/personnel/pdfs/EmployApp.pdf

GFJ is pleased to announce that Mango Languages is now available to its patrons. Mango is a robust, interactive online foreign language-learning suite covering more than sixty languages (including Pirate!). A mobile app is available, and all you need to get started is a valid GFJ library card. Start, pause and return to your lessons…

Amazon has announced that its popular Kindle e-reader will soon be compatible with GFJ’s Overdrive downloadable e-book service.  The service already works with many popular devices, including the Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple’s iPad, and many others.  The Overdrive service also features free downloadable audiobooks.   Click here to get started!
