Just a reminder that the library will be closed on Friday, January 25th due to the replacement of our heating and air conditioning system. We plan to reopen at 9:00am on Saturday 1/26. However, please call or check the website before visiting as a delay in construction could prevent our opening on this day.
The library has resumed normal hours and will reopen at 9 A.M. on Tuesday, Oct. 30. The Oct. 30 Friends of the Library book review has been cancelled. There will be no preschool storytime today, because the UE schools are closed.
Chalk artists: we have had sunny skies over the library all afternoon so the Chalk Art Extravaganza will happen as scheduled tonight at 6 pm! Hope you can join us!

This year’s raffle quilt is on display: “French Romance” by quilt artists Carol Bunnell and Sandy Minehan. Tickets are a dollar apiece or six for five dollars and proceeds go to support children’s programs here at GFJ. The drawing will be held September 11. Other quilts, some for sale, will be on display soon.
The Library Trustees Association of New York State is featuring GFJ on their website. This comes after Merle Newberry was chosen as the winner of the Velma K. Moore Award. Check out this great feature and the accompanying photos at librarytrustees.org.
