Here is a running tally of all the amazing people that gave through our AmazonSmile Charity Wish List for June 2021. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. https://ogdensburgpubliclibrary.org/june-amazonsmile-chari/ If you see an item you purchased and it says, Unclaimed it was because we did not receive a gift slip with that package. If you can send us an email ([email protected]) with the confirmation email or receipt we will happily credit you. If you wish to... remain anonymous, please know you are amazing people. If you would like to join these amazing people with a donation of your own, please check out our AmazonSmile Charity Wish List. https://smile.amazon.com//16Q9B8JFY/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl If there is something you would like to see at the library you can send a request in to [email protected] and we will see about putting it on the AmazonSmile Wish List or buying it if it will fit into our book/item budget. This is NOT ONLY a book Wish List. If you would like to see a DVD, Blu-Ray, Audiobook or other item at the library please let us know.

Some new goodies bought from the AmazonSmile Charity Wish List. Thank you, thank you!

Saranac Lake Free Library thought to show off one of the cool things about one of the new YA books we have in common and I thought I would share their cool little video. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoPPeRLSBw/ ****... Check out this ingenious book design on Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi! We have been getting so many great YA books in recently, send the teenagers to the library, we have books for them! . . . #yolk #yabooks #teenagers #comegetsomebooks #summerreading

We have a new crop of Adult books on the shelf. Thank you to the anonymous donor who donated most of the Rivers of London series!

Thank you for saying "Yes" to the library. Have a cup cake on us. These delicious treats were provided by Kendall Wilson.

Something to note for those who purchase books from our AmazonSmile Charity Wish List. If you would like to get the item first, please note that on the gift receipt or send us a screenshot of the order and let us know you would like those items first. As soon as they are entered into the system and barcoded we will get them out to you.

Last weeks craft was much appreciated in this household!

There are new children's books on the AmazonSmile Wish List if you didn't see what you were hoping for. These are still amazing books we would love to add to our collection, but couldn't. We also received more items from the Wish List today including disposable masks we can offer the community or staff members if masks are forgotten, broken or otherwise needing replacement. Check out the new additions here: https://smile.amazon.com//16Q9B8JFY/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl... We have a running tally of items received on our website. You can see what those items are. https://ogdensburgpubliclibrary.org/friends-amazonsmile-wi/ Unfortunately not all of the boxes have contained gift receipts so if you never receive a thank you, please know we DO appreciate it, but we don't know who to thank. So for all those lost in the shuffle gifts: "Thank you. Your kindness during this trying time both with our budget cuts and the pandemic are greatly appreciated. Your gifts will ensure that there are new books on the shelves, a clean environment to help battle this pandemic by keeping our community safe and fun kids activities will continue to be able to be created and sent out with curbside crafts."

Just as a reminder, the library will be closed December 24, 25, 26 and 31 as well as January 1. Browsing hours today are from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting. Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Santa knows the value of a library card! A great gift for Christmas is getting your child or grandchild a library card of their very own. The card will open the...ir world to all sorts of adventures! It also gives you a special one on one time when you bring them in to pick out their books. Start a tradition that will last a lifetime! Call us at 315-686-3299 or email us at [email protected] and we will get you all set up with this free card. The library card may be used at any one of the 60+ libraries in our system. See more

Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you secruity and friendship and didn't ask for anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly. Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
