Fairview Public Library

Taking place Tuesday October 29th at 5:30 pm in our conference room.

Stop by the circulation desk during open hours to choose your new recipe from the cookbook pictured above (Hudson Valley Mediterranean: The Gigi Good Food Cookbook). Each participant will make something different . Variety is the spice of life, after all!

Library staff will flag your recipe as chosen and make a copy for you to take home with you. During the event, food will be shared potluck style so everyone can sample all creations. Discussion will center around the recipes, the book, your favorite ‘go to’ recipe and anything else food related. Please join a great group of foodies for some delicious new flavors and lively discussion!

***This cookbook may not be circulated until the October event is complete***

Boys and Girls! Next Thursday, September 19th at 3:30 pm, please come visit Thunder here in our children’s room! Tell him about your new school year, read him a story or two, and then let him show you some special tricks. He is looking forward to seeing new and old friends alike!

Make some beautiful fall bookmarks using collected leaves, lamination, and some beautiful yarn on September 13th at 3:30 pm. Make a couple: some for yourself and some as gifts!

Hello everyone! Thunder will be back at the library for kids to read to on September 19th at 3:30 pm!! He is looking forward to seeing his little friends and hearing how their new school year is going. This sweet boy is hoping to hear many adventuresome stories with new and old friends alike. At the end, he will treat the kids to some special tricks of his own.

On August 30th at 3:30 pm, please join us for the end of our Universe of Stories Summer Reading program! We will be going out with a bang as we dabble in a variety of STEM activities from gravity balloon drops, to slime making and fizzing Jupiters! It’s sure to be a great end to summer reading and we hope to see a lot of little smiling faces there.

Our much-anticipated annual Silent Auction is coming soon at Fairview Public Library. Stop by to place your bid on any of our gorgeous baskets as a way to spoil yourself or a loved one. All proceeds help us keep the library running at peak performance for our patrons. We thank you for your support!

Lucky Duck Days are here at Fairview Library!! Donate $5 or more and select a paper duck to place in our “pond” on the board outside with your name on it, and choose one of these sweet little reading rubber ducks to take home. We appreciate your support!

Every other Thursday come read with Thunder the Therapy Dog here at Fairview Library in our beautiful children’s room at 3:30 pm (check our calendar for dates/times). His next visit to the library will be August 25th at 3:30 pm.

Thunder is known for visiting some of the local schools as well as the nursing home. He is much-loved by the children who know him, and not only does he love to be read to, he loves showing the boys and girls his amazing tricks at the end. 

If you’re looking for a wonderful reading experience for the kids, bring them down to read a tale or two to Thunder. This good boy will be very happy to spend time with his new (and old) friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning at the library, take your kids on a walk about Margaretville to follow the story “Duck on a Tractor” by David Shannon for our very first Story Walk! This gets little ones moving and keeps them engaged as they follow the map to the next pages in the story.

Story pages are up on various business windows around Main Street, but the beginning of the book is right here at the library on the front door on our old porch. There you will also find a map and description of a story walk, though that very same pamphlet is available to take either from the library or any of the participating businesses with pages displayed.

This story walk will be up through labor day and we hope many children will enjoy this wonderful duck-themed story while viewing the creatively dressed-up wooden ducks around town.

Happy walking (and reading)!
