Special Visitors from Roxbury Central

We were so happy this week to have visitors from Roxbury Central School.  Visiting our library was part of their For the Love of Books Month (FLOB), and sharing stories with grades Kindergarten, 1, 2, and 4 was an absolute pleasure.  Many of the children took out their very first library cards!  Below are photos of Kindergarten and grades 1 and 2:  grade 4 photo will be available next week.  Many thanks to RCS librarian Margaret Tucker and the classroom teachers and staff for making this possible!

Final Count: 19 Pillowcases for Ryan’s Case for Smiles

Our terrific volunteer squad has completed 19 pillowcases, instead of the originally planned 10 cases! The patterns are so sweet - imagine how happy children will be to have such vibrant color in otherwise institutionally neutral hospital rooms. We thank them so very much for their dedication to this project - and it’s been way too much fun hosting them!
Again, our gratitude to Sarah Porter, Maggie Pebler, Kathy Zummo, Roxanne Lindner, and Chris Durham for their sewing talents and the inimitable in-house entertainment.
Special thanks to Lori and Katie Rosa of Bloom of Margaretville for final delivery to Albany Medical Center pediatric units, and to Becky Porter for donating additional pillowcases.
