We are partnering with the United Way of Dutchess & Orange to be a drop-off location for their 100,000 Diaper Drive. Join us in keeping babies happy and healthy. Diapers are the #1 requested items by our community. Every child deserves to start life with dignity and comfort, yet many families in Dutchess and Orange counties, providing essential items like diapers can be a struggle. Drop off donations of new in package diapers in the box in the Library lobby now through May 14th.
