Congratulations to all 12 families who participated in today’s first ever Amazing Race! It was a blast for everyone involved. The Teen Library Council would like to thank you for attending their event and look forward to creating more. A special congratulations to our first place winners Carolyn and Joslyn Walsh who ran around town, hitting all 10 stops at top speed. What an amazing wrap up to our spring programs. We look forward to seeing everyone for the summer!
Today, Evelina visited the Friendship Center where they celebrated their 2nd year of being reopened with pizza, salad, spinach dip, and strawberry shortcake. Everyone played Celebration Bingo and won some cute prizes. Evelina and the Pawling Library support the Friendship Center with donated books and puzzles from the library.
Sorry. We’ll be back on next week!

Every year Girls Scouts World Wide on World Thinking Day choose a local community program to donate their time and resources to. This year the Pawling Girl Scout Unit 109 decided to help the Dutchess Outreach Program. Dutchess Outreach Program survives on limited funds. They depend heavily on donations and volunteers to keep their programs open and running. A few of the Girl Scout troops donated time to their lunch program, others collected food to donate. Troop 10017 decided to donate toiletries which are items that are in high demand, but not thought of often when people donate supplies. We are collecting child and adult size diapers, feminine napkins, toilet paper, soap, wash clothes and shaving supplies. The Pawling Library is proud to help this effort by providing space for the special collection box in the main entrance of the library. Please help Girl Scout Brownie Troop 10017 by purchasing some of these items and dropping them off when you visit the library. Donations will be brought to Dutchess Outreach on Saturday, March 21st....

On Feb 25th, I brought my 3 year old daughter Alana to Library Advocacy day in Albany. We caught the bus in New Paltz at 7:45am. It was an exciting adventure for her, her mom dropped us off with all our toys, snacks, and a Curious George Compilation book. Alana wanted to read story after story of Curious George, and enjoyed drawing pictures on her Magna-doodle on the bus ride. Once we got there, we left our coats on the
