The boiler at the Library has received a replacement "sensor." The building was without hot water, also, but Library Staff are pleased to announce the return to normal business as of 10 a.m. Tuesday morning. Borrowers are urged to stop in to stock up on books and movies before closing on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Due to heating system problems the Library will be closed Monday November 23. If repairs go well, the Library will reopen on Tues Nov 24 at 10 AM.

The Friends of the Library have responded to a challenge from an anonymous donor who pledges to donate up to $5000 if donors will match that amount. Time is of the essence as the donor wishes to donate by Christmas! Funds will be used toward completing the Library fence along Main Street. The Friends began a funding campaign Thanksgiving Week and have reached donations totaling just over $2500. Anyone interested in donating can contact the Library at 585-335-6720. Information and donation forms are available at the desk. The cost of the fence extension is more than $13,000 and the Library will seek additional funding to cover the balance of the cost.

The newest artist in the Gallery is Lois Buchinger. Lois began painting in 1965 and though she has taken a number of classes, she is primarily self taught. Her paintings are meant to be uplifting, her own spiritual expression of joy. She has been featured at Wyoming and Livingston County galleries, and the beauty of nature is a driving force in her work. Stop in soon and sign the guest book.

On Tuesday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m., local author, Mike Van Durme will talk about his book investigating hunting accidents & uncovering the true sequence of events. There will be a book signing and light refreshments will be served.

Largely self taught, artist Jay Pullman of Arkport, works in several media: oil, watercolor, charcoal, graphite, and–more recently–pen and ink. He believes serious painting is more than recreation or therapy: it is intense creative work. Since retirement, Jay has been able to concentrate on his painting. Jay’s work will be on display at the Library until Oct 15.

The Friends of the Library presents "Livingston County’s Surprising Wine Story" with retired Geneseo Professor, Gary Cox, a local winegrower.
