Thanks to a donation from the Friends of the Library we were able to purchase some Wii games for our patrons to borrow.  Due to their popularity the games  are not on our shelves  but you can place a hold from home through the  online catalog or call or stop by the library and we will place a hold for you. If you have a Wii game you purchased but no longer play we would love to add it to our collection.  

                                                                                                      

 

Tax forms and booklets are here! 

 The long awaited shipment of 1040 booklets has finally arrived. We also have the 1040A,  1040 EZ  and NYS Tax booklets and forms available. If you need a specialized form just ask at the front desk and we will be  happy to print out a copy from the IRS.gov website.
