Middleburgh Library Notes for Wednesday, October 14, 2020
Middleburgh Library Book Bundles! Are you having trouble finding books for yourself, your children, your parents or an elderly neighbor? Does your child love trucks, bugs, or super heroes? Are you interested in finding out more about knitting, drawing, or speaking another language?
Let us help! Contact Rebecca at and let her know what you are looking for; she will research, gather and collect library material and you can pick up your book’s curbside!

Virtual Insight Meditation
On Oct. 20 at 5:15 p.m. join our popular Insight Meditation group virtually!
What do you want most deeply? Seeing your life calmly and clearly helps answer this. Insight Meditation is a simple way to steady your mind, stop wandering in day-dreams, and end the suffering of troubling thoughts. Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving-kindness and patience.
We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators', teens to seniors. We will be using the Zoom platform for our meetings for the time being. Registration is required to receive the join link. You can use a computer/laptop, tablet or phone to access the meeting. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/ybuf2xcq.
Library Services
In library browsing: It’s time! In addition to our curbside service for library material in-library use of computers and printing and faxing, you can now come into the library to browse for what you want!
If you'd like to come in to browse please call the library at 518-827-5142 to make an appointment. Drop-ins may not be able to be accommodated as there is a limit to how many people can be in the library at one time. Just call us from the parking lot and we'll see if there is room for you to come in.
Please remember that masks are required and must be worn the entire time you are inside. For any one unable to wear a mask or for those of you who are not comfortable coming inside, curbside service is still available. Alas, our bathrooms are unavailable right now and time is limited to thirty minutes for each patron. We hope to see you soon!
