North Greenbush Public Library Update
NORTH GREENBUSH – Summer Reading continues! The North Greenbush Public Library has expanded it with Teen RIF (Read It Forward) books, featuring two
books, “Nimona” a graphic novel by Noelle Stevenson, and “Croak” by Gina Damico. How does Teen RIF work? Read one of the books, add your
thoughts and opinions (optional) then pass the book on to a friend, who continues reading and sharing. Just keep “Reading-It-Forward!” The books
are free and need not be returned to the library. Call the library to reserve a RIF book, then pick it up through our Grab ’N’ Go option. And log your reading
on ReadSquared at http://northgreenbushny11.readsquared.com.
We continue to offer ready-made take-home craft kits in Summer Reading for children ages 3-7, and a separate set of craft kits for children 8
years and older. New kits will be added every two weeks. Available through our Grab ’N’ Go pick-up option, call the library to reserve a kit for pickup. Supplies are limited. Adults and children–if you haven’t registered, go to http://northgreenbushny11.readsquared.com.
You don’t need an appointment to pick up your reserved books, CDs or DVDs. Use the library’s Grab ’N’ Go pick-up option. To make copies, print, fax, or browse for items, appointments are required. They are available M/W/F between 10 AM and 2 PM; Tu/Th between 3 PM and 7 PM.
Appointments are limited to 20 minutes allowing only three patrons an hour in the library to accommodate social distancing, cleaning, and
