Spring Registration Made Easy

Posted on March 4, 2014 casey.conlin@gmail.com

spring registrationWe know how stressful call in registration for our children’s programs is for everyone, so we are excited to let you know that we will be trying something new for registration this spring!  Our new director, Casey Conlin outlined a lottery registration process that was used at his previous library in Goshen, NY.  We decided to tweak it just a bit, and give it a try here.  It has several advantages:

1.  No more registration times to remember…or forget!
2.  A more flexible range of dates to register.
3,  No wating on the phone or in person.
4.  Time to thoughtfully complete your registration so your family can take advantage of all we have to offer.  No more rushing!

Doesn’t it sound too good to be true! 
Keep on reading to find out how it works!
