Guilderland Library Notes for Thursday, August 30, 2018

In celebration of our youngest readers going back to school, the Guilderland Public Library is declaring September to be Fine-Forgiveness Month for all Guilderland juvenile material. That means books, CDs, DVDs, anything labeled “J” for juvenile.

So if you borrowed some Guil Juvenile material some time ago, and the due date is long past, no worries! Just bring it to the library and turn it in. And consider donating the amount of your fine to the Guilderland Food Pantry collection box, right there on our Check-Out Desk. All donations go to the food pantry.

As you know, the pantry provides food to people of the town of Guilderland who are in need. Families who are eligible receive food every four weeks. The pantry provides three holiday meals — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter — for families in need.

This Fine Forgiveness effort is a great way to turn what could have been a late fine into a food-giving gift.

We open at 9:30!

In order to serve you better, we are changing our operating hours. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 4, we will open at 9:30 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and close Fridays at 7 p.m.
