Please check out your old favorites as well as new titles. Enjoy! The Insiders Club The Insiders Club is the library’s latest outreach effort and has been a major success. Formerly called the Homebound Service, it is an attempt to reach patrons who can’t visit the library due to age or disability. Coordinated by Judy Lipstein, it was initiated within the last three months while the library was still on lockdown. “We rebranded the name to make the program more current and engaging,” said Mrs. Lipstein. “It’s a valuable service on the part of the Library in light of our difficult time. Thanks to the support and foresight of the Library, we are now able to deliver books on a bi-weekly basis directly to the household.” Each week, Mrs. Lipstein curates a personalized list of books for each patron, based on their tastes and interests. “I love reading and I love interacting with my patrons about the subjects that interest them. Many have told me that without this service, they would feel completely isolated, especially since reading means so much to them as an activity.” If you know of anyone who may qualify for the program, please tell them to contact the Library and speak with Judy Lipstein at 845-352-5700, ext. 216, or email her at jlipstein@rcls.org. Our programs below are being offered in virtual private Zoom rooms. We ask that you join 10 minutes prior to the start time. Check with your healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program.
