Baby Meets Baby Thursday, March 19 11:00—11:30 AM Friday, March 27 12:30—1:00 PM Join us for our newest children's program! Baby Meets Baby is for 7 to 17 month olds and their caregivers to interact - with themselves, with each other, and with the Library! Caregivers can enjoy the relaxed environment to converse together while they help their Littles explore educational toys and board books. This playtime will encourage hands-on exploration of the senses, spatial reasoning, hand-eye coordination, socialization, and more! This program is for babies 7 to 17 months. Children MUST be able to sit on their own, unassisted and without support. Only one caregiver may attend, as this program will be held in a small area of the Children's Room. No registration required - just stop by!

Family PJ Matinee Friday, April 3 3:00—5:00 PM Enjoy a special family movie matinee this Spring Break! We'll be showing the 2011 family comedy "Hop" (rated PG)! Kids ages 4 and up and their families are invited to wear their comfy cozy PJs, bring a snuggly blanket and stuffy, and enjoy the fun family film on our 100in flat-screen TV. Bring a bean bag or other small comfy chair to lounge in, and unlike the movie theatre you can bring your own snacks! (We'll provide some too, just in case.) Registration is required. *This is a family program, and adults must stay with their children throughout the entirety of the film.
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.
