Chelsie of Earthbeat Music has been hosting a free 8-part beginner’s ukulele program series for senior citizens (age 60+).  The Schuylerville Public Library and Greenwich Free Library are partnering up for this series, so half of the lessons take place in Schuylerville and half in Greenwich, with the final get-together on May 15 taking place at Hudson Crossing Park.

Many local libraries have ukuleles that may be borrowed with a library card!

This project is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council.

Wow! Thanks to all of you who came out for our Bluey Earth Day party in the park! We ran out of books to give away, so if you missed out please come see us at the library – we have a free books cart for you to enjoy plus thousands of books you can borrow! 

It’s time to reflect back on 2023 at the library! By all measures, it was a successful year. Here are some highlights:

• In 2023, 7,740 people attended programs and events sponsored by the library. That’s up 227% over 2022.
• We hosted 403 free programs and events, open to the public
• 36,225 people visited the library in 2023, up 29% over 2022
• Our collection holds 48,881 items, and circulation jumped 13% to 31,865
• eBook and audio borrows through the Libby app increased by 53% in 2023, totaling 5,280 downloads
• 2,847 people enjoyed fresh fruits and vegetables through Farm-2-Library
• Patrons composted 6,917 pounds of food and organic waste through our partnership with Adirondack Worm Farm
• 203 people of all ages read 264,454 pages for our Summer Reading Challenge
• Community members booked free library space for 3,626 people to attend 472 events

Looking forward to the library’s future, we can anticipate more growth for program participation and more community needs to fill. This brings us to our budget, and the May 21, 2024 public vote for the library referendum on the school ballot.
