Rensselaerville Library Notes for Friday, June 16, 2017
The Rensselaerville Ramble: Trail Run and Walk is planned for Saturday, June 17. The Ramble is a fundraiser for the Huyck Preserve and the library. Registration is open and increases after June 7.
Museums
The Library has a number of Museum Passes this year. Borrow the USS Slater Family Pass to tour the USS Slater berthed on the Hudson River in Albany. The American Legion Clarke White Post #589 provided the support to obtain the pass. We also have the Clark, The Old Stone Fort Museum in Schoharie and the Albany Institute of History and Art in Albany. Museum passes are available to check out with your Library card for seven days.
Summer hours
During the months of May and June the Library will be increasing our hours. In addition to our morning hours on Tuesday and Wednesday we will be opening at 3:00pm in the evening. We hope that by opening early students will have more access to the resources they need.
