Home The Library Contact Us Our Annual Holiday Lights Appeal is Underway Posted December 2, 2021 The Friends of Poestenkill Library are pleased to present their 21st Annual Holiday Lights Appeal. The Holiday Lights Appeal offers an opportunity for donors to honor a special person, remember a loved one, or give a gift, and at the same time help The Poestenkill Library to serve the community. We invite you to stop by the library during regular business hours to make a donation, or you can also print the Holiday Lights Appeal brochure and send it via postal mail along with your donation. Your support is greatly appreciated by everyone involved with the library! Happy Holidays! Library Hires New Director Posted November 3, 2021 The Poestenkill Library has hired Donna Riley as the Library Director, effective November 29, 2021. Riley brings extensive local library experience to this position. She has been an active member of the Friends at the William K. Sanford Library in Colonie, she served as a Children’s Librarian in East Greenbush, and she has worked at North Greenbush Public Library for several years. Among her many duties at the North Greenbush, she currently develops programming, creates and monitors social media, and supports various customer needs. “Little libraries are what I love,” said Riley. “Supporting our rural communities by providing library resources is work that is worth doing, the best prize in life.” With her parents as long-time residents of Poestenkill, Riley has been a regular visitor to Market Day and an admirer of Poestenkill’s appreciation for its library. Amanda Martinez-Kirby, the Director since September 8, has resigned–reluctantly–for a relocation opportunity that is in the best interests of her family. “My short time with the Poestenkill Library has been so meaningful and rewarding,” said Martinez-Kirby. “I hate to leave, but I am so honored to have had even a small part in the history of this wonderful library.” Storytime Posted November 3, 2021 Storytime every Friday. The library opens at 10AM, story time starts at 10:15. Depending on the weather, we will be on the library porch if it’s 50 or above. In the Town hall if it’s below 50. If outside we will play an organized game of “the ground is lava”, OR do a small sensory activity(shaving cream and playdoh) after the story. Friday Storytime Posted October 20, 2021 Storytime is back! Join Miss Erin on Friday mornings at 10:15 for a fun filled storytime. While the weather allows, we will be outside on the library porch so wear warm clothes and bring a blanket.
