Voorheesville Library Notes for Friday, May 6, 2016
It has been a year in the making, but we are now ready to move forward with our used book store Encore! We are seeking volunteers to join our team and be a part of another positive community venture.
Your investment can be as simple as donating a few hours sorting books, to taking on a board position with the Friends of the Library, or anywhere in between, it’s your choice. If you are interested in volunteering to assist the Voorheesville Library, please email or .

High demand collection
Looking for the newest bestsellers or the book everyone is talking about? Skip the long reserve lines. The library has a high demand collection. These titles check out for seven days with no renewals to move them quickly.
They cannot be requested, so they go right back on the shelf for you to find while browsing. You can find them next to the new fiction with the purple seven day stickers.
