We are happy to announce that the library is once again open to the public! Beginning this week, our new Grab-and-Go service allows patrons to browse and borrow from the adult, teen, and children’s circulating collections. We ask that you keep your visit short (15-30 minutes), that you wear a mask, and that you keep a six-foot distance from staff and other visitors. The library will be open at limited capacity at first, allowing 10 people at a time. For more information about Grab-and-Go, see our FAQ flyer or visit our website. In this issue of Greenbush Bookmark for Adults, we present a new personalized reading list service, announce our Summer Reading Challenge and other great programs, and share how our library tag line, Inspiring Ideas, Strengthening Community, Enriching Lives, guides our service. 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. Happy Independence Day! With warm wishes from the East Greenbush Community Library Adult Services librarians, ~ Elizabeth, Catherine, Jody, Barbara, and Lauren
