Our Chair Yoga class led by Twisted Sister Yoga has quickly become so popular that we are now offering it each and every Thursday from 3:30 to 4:15. Come in and see what the excitement is about!  You’ll enjoy the stretching, relaxation, and the company.  This program is for ALL ages and genders - just bring yourself in comfortable clothing and a (suggested) donation of $10.

We look forward to seeing you here at the Roxbury Library!

The Board of Trustees have approved a 2024 budget for the Roxbury Library.

The Roxbury Library is pleased to announce that our staff of dedicated volunteers have taken on a new project for themselves!  They are creating ten pillowcases in conjunction with Ryan’s Case for Smiles to Albany Medical Center pediatric patients.  Sewing began on January 3 and will continue until all pillowcases are completed.  Ryan’s Case for Smiles (formerly ConKerr Cancer) was founded in 2007 to bring comfort and support to young patients and their families in hospitals around the globe.  They started with a simple goal:  to create and distribute whimsical pillowcases that give children an emotional boost and remind them that they are not defined by their illness.  Today, Ryan’s Case for Smiles programs have expanded to include the children’s entire families so they can better navigate and cope with a very difficult experience and avoid long term emotional trauma.

Volunteers involved in this project were Sarah Porter - organizer, Maggie Pebler, Kathy Zummo, Roxanne Lindner, and Chris Durham (not pictured).

Bloom of Margaretville, owners Lori and Katie Rosa, will be distributing the completed pillowcases to Albany Medical Center.
