Interesting Additions

• Read to Recovery is currently very low on funds and inventory. Between August – September, Emily and Mary submitted four grant applications totaling $8,000. We should be hearing back between October – November. Fingers crossed 🤞Since the launch in May 2024, we have distributed nearly 1,800 books!
• Kali made sure the library displayed voter registration materials sent over from the Saratoga County Leage of Women’s Voters. She also went through Election Inspector Training at the Saratoga County Board of Elections!
• Between 6/1/2026-9/23/2026 Barney distributed 389 Narcan Kits and 1,244 Fentanyl Test Strips.
• A serial killer’s ashes were in the Dutcher room. See pics below.
• Believe it or not, it’s already time to think about the next tax season. Katie has put in the order for federal tax forms in English and Spanish. She also ordered quarter sheet pamphlets that show people how to file for free online. This will all compliment the in-person tax help that we are doing with the NYS tax department this upcoming year.
• The seed library is on hiatus from Labor Day until March.
• Farm2Library continues going smoothly, great large deliveries these last few weeks. Very positive feedback so far from folks taking food.
