March 20th Is the First Day of Spring!!! The cold winter has passed, and now comes spring. The newly hatched baby birds will cause the mother birds to sing.
The warm sun comes out, little cherry blossoms are in bloom. Beautiful roses will open up and smell of sweet perfume.
The wind's soft breeze passes through the tall trees. There will be plenty of work for the busy honey bees.
From flower to flower, they fly and buzz all day. Spring is that magical time during March, April, and May.

It's that time of year again!!!! AARP will be offering free basic tax preparation for seniors at the Pine Bush Library beginning on February 3rd. You can make an appointment to get your taxes done starting Monday, January 16th by calling 211 from any phone. Because this service is offered through AARP we here at the library CANNOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU. The only way to get an appointment is by calling 211 and following the prompts. Here are a few helpful tips to make everything go as smoothly as possible. - DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY FOR AN APPOINTMENT. Appointments are made by dialing 211.
- When you call 211 you might have to wait on hold for a while, be prepared.
- If you call 211 and they say there are no more appointments, do not panic and DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY. Appointment blocks are opened up over time, call back another day.
- Nobody at the library can make an appointment for you, scheduling is handled by AARP.
- When making an appointment make sure you make it for a time you can actually show up for. People showing up late for appointments messes the whole process up.
- DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
