"Grab-and-Go" is going strong! We've been delighted to see so many of our library regulars coming in for Grab-and-Go visits, taking advantage of our open doors to browse, say hello, and check out library materials. Stop by Tu-Fri, 11-2 or Sat 9-1 to browse and borrow from the adult, teen, and children’s circulating collections. Grab-and-Go visits are short (15-30 minutes), limited to 15 visitors at a time, and require a mask over nose and mouth and six-foot social distancing. We plan to add services and hours progressively over the coming weeks, as regulations allow. For the latest information about hours and available services, visit our website. Sign up here to have new issues of this newsletter delivered to your email inbox (Select Greenbush Bookmark for Adults), and to view back issues. We hope to see you soon! With warm wishes from the East Greenbush Community Library Adult Services librarians, ~ Elizabeth, Catherine, Jody, Barbara, and Lauren
