Schedule a Storytime or Field Trip! We’d love to plan a visit for your class, daycare, school group, or scout troop. Please call us in advance to schedule a time. We can plan a specific program with your groups needs in mind—from a 20 minute Toddler Storytime to an hour-long field trip with tour and activities. Classes planning regular visits may sign up for a story time once a month. If your class would like to get library cards, please return completed applications at 10 days in advance to have them ready for your visit. Please call 518-792-6508 x4 to schedule a visit or for more information.
