Winter Weather Closing Information
Yes, it's that time of year again...with winter comes some unpredictable weather and we just wanted to take some time to remind you about our inclement weather policy.
There may be times when the library needs to delay opening, close early, or close entirely for the safety of staff and patrons. We keep our Facebook page and website up to date with our schedule. We also change our phone message to reflect any changes to our schedule for the day. Please be mindful that although we do monitor what the Fallsburg Central School District is doing on school days, we do NOT always follow their closings. If you are unsure, PLEASE call 845-436-6067 before venturing out.

The first conspiracy : the secret plot to kill George Washington

The Last Romantics
by Tara Conklin

A sweeping yet intimate epic about one American family, The Last Romantics is an unforgettable exploration of the ties that bind us together, the responsibilities we embrace and the duties we resent, and how we can lose—and sometimes rescue—the ones we love. A novel that pierces the heart and lingers in the mind, it is also a beautiful meditation on the power of stories—how they navigate us through difficult times, help us understand the past, and point the way toward our future.
