Online fundraising auction

Note: click the ‘read more’ to find the links.

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we cannot host our annual fundraising dinner and auction. We have replaced it with an online auction. The baskets listed here are being auctioned from October 13 to November 7, with final bidding on November 7. We extended the event because of our limited hours and people’s inability to get out to us in time. So, now there is plenty of time!

There are many ways in which you can place your bid; 1) make a comment on this page (don’t worry we’ll see it but no one else will), 2) call the Library at 518-642-2525 (DO NOT bid by leaving a message on the machine, speak to someone at the library), 3) email  at pember.library@gmail.com or 4) visit the library in person any time that we are open.

As bids come in, the fundraising page will be regularly updated with the most current bids. Please help us to continue providing services to our communities.

Lucy and all of us thank you for your love and support. She is eating a little better. She loves being brushed by Kristen. She misses all the folks who let her have a lap.
We have some catnip in our grow tower and have been giving her a leaf or two every couple of days!

Summer Reading – Activity Kit 3

by

Our third activity kit is Journals and fractured fairy tales. Imagine your story using the story hints. Then write in your journal. There are pencils, colored pencils, a sharpener, some stickers etc etc. This picture asks you to rewrite the story of the Princess and the Pea from the viewpoint of the prince. I tried it. It isn’t easy! But it was fun. My story involves a Prince named Hartley, three beautiful girls named Isobel, Rosalind, & Sadie and Queen Morrigan and King Rory and of course a pea (or two or three?).
Anyway call the library or email to reserve a journal kit for your family.

Don’t forget to join our online summer reading: You can sign up at https://pemberny11.readsquared.com/

and keep track of your reading there. Or print out paper logs https://gralib.sals.edu/summer-reading-3/

to keep track and return to the library in September.
