Join us for the longest Black Friday special in Petersburgh history. On November 23 through December 7 the Petersburgh Library will be giving away hundreds of books, audios cassettes and videos. Since the book sale in May 2013 the Library has received numerous donations of used books, etc. We now need to clean our vestibule, so for two weeks we are offering everything in the vestibule free to the public. Take advantage of this opportunity to find a good book to read, or, if you have an older vehicle, pick up some books on audiocassette to listen to as you travel.
Cash Donations Needed
The end of the year is approaching, and the Library is in need of funds to purchase new books in 2014. The Town of Petersburgh has found it necessary to cut the contractual portion of the Library budget by $1,450. Since this portion of the budget includes items which cannot be reduced, such as telephone bills, internet charges, post office box rental and charges related to our participation in the Upper Hudson Library System, etc., this means the book budget is being reduced by $1,450. To make up this deficit the Library is requesting cash donations to buy new books in 2014. The Library is a non-profit organization and you may receive a tax deductible receipt for your donation. You may want to consider making a donation in memory of or in honor of a friend or loved on this holiday season. All donations of any size will be greatly appreciated by all the Library users in the coming year.
