New Young Adult Programmer

Hello Pawling Community, My name is Nicole Curcio and I am the new Young Adult Programmer at the Pawling Library.  That means that I will be designing and running the teen programs at the library, as well as taking care of the young adult collection.  If you have been in the library recently you may have seen that girl with the strange hair sitting at a desk behind the circulation counter.  That’s me! I already have some things in the works for the teens in our community such as a presentation given by Caitlin Galvin, a senior at Pawling High School.  She is giving a presentation on the importance of self-esteem on Saturday May 10th at 1:00 pm.  We are also ready for the Battle of the Books program that’s for students currently in grades 5-8.  The books are in for the Battle of the Books, so if you know any teens that are interested, please pass the word along.  They can sign up and pick up the books at the circulation desk at the...

Spring Registration Made Easy

We 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!
