Get into the Halloween mood with our October virtual book club, which will be discussing “Stiff: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavers” by Mary Roach, on Monday, October 25 at 6:30 PM via Zoom. Roach approaches her subject with meticulous detail and a surprising sense of humor for what one
would expect to be a dead-serious topic. For a copy of the book and the Zoom meeting link, email us: library@nullnorthgreenbushlibrary.org.
Our hours are Monday-Friday 10 AM to 7 PM and Saturday, 10 AM to 2 PM. Visits are limited to 30 minutes and patrons must wear a mask; Grab ‘N’ Go is available. Questions? Call us at 518-283-0303.
