The Pine Bush Library has a long history of working with community partners in an effort to reach out to the less fortunate among us. From acting as a collection point to handing out scholarships and everything in between, the Pine Bush Library and our patrons are always doing our best to give back.
 
Here is a short list of the charitable initiatives we are currently a part of: 
 
Bullville Methodist Church Food Pantry
We are collecting any and all food items as well as cleaning supplies, PPE, hygiene products, baby products, etc. Donations can be dropped off at either the main library or community center.
 
Jewish Family Service
At Jewish Family Service of Orange County, we are dedicated to welcoming all members of the entire Orange County community connecting them to resources and services that can provide support and comfort.
 
Lions Club International Recycle For Sight
You can drop off your gently used eye glasses in the collection box at the community center. 
 
Keep an eye on our website, Facebook page, and newsletter for any new opportunities to give back.
 
If you have a charity or program you would like us to collect for or promote, please reach out by calling 845-744-4265 ext. 2, emailing PBL@rcls.org, or sending us a message on Facebook @PineBushPublicLibrary.

What Can Your Library Do For You?
 
 
We here at the Pine Bush Library are always thinking of new, educational, and fun ways to serve our patrons. In the last two years we have created a YouTube channel, gotten a pass so you can access NY State Parks for free, created unique programs such as stargazing and Next Stop Adventure, brought in someone to help you with your technology problems and more.  
 
Now we want to hear from YOU, our loyal patrons. Tell us what programs, activities, services, etc. you want your favorite library to offer.
 
If you have an idea for a new program, activity, service, event or anything else please reach out. You can email us PBL@rcls.org, call us 845-744-4265 ext. 2, send us a message on Facebook @PineBushPublicLibrary or just come by the Community Center and tell us in person.     
 
You can access hundreds of eBooks, audio books, videos, and more. Download the Libby App to your smartphone or tablet. Kindle users can visit https://rcls.overdrive.com/ and start reading today! If you have questions about any of these apps make an appointment to come in, we will be happy to walk you through the setup process and get you started.
