Here is what I am getting for everyone on my Valentine's Day list. It shows my family and friends I care and also spreads the love in the community by helping to rebuild the Phoenicia Library! Get one (or many) for your sweetie too! They are $10.00 by themselves or $12.00 with gummy bears. Go to the library or contact them today 845-688-7811 for info on how to get yours.
Below is a list of upcoming library events and some updated news sent to me by Liz Potter, the library director. There are a lot of great events to attend. It will alleviate your cabin fever and you can learn something too! So check them out!

LIBRARY NEWS
**Rebuild
Although the front of 48 Main looks deceptively quiet, behind the scenes our hearty crew is working hard every day on framing the interior and the extension. Every few weeks we post pictures of the progress on our Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/phoenicia.librarians)
** Board News
Our President Kurt Boyer has stepped down from the board after serving for approximately four years. The board presented him with a "Library Champion" certificate to thank him for steering the board through the rebuild and always adding a note of humor to the proceeds. Bernard Handzel will be stepping in as President, and Sue Bernstein is taking over as Vice President.
All events are free and open to the public.
More information with our calender is available at our website. (http://phoenicialibrary.org/)
