News at The Rensselaerville Library

Library News, September 2008

The Board and staff of the Rensselaerville Library wish to extend a great big thank you to everyone who came and supported us at the Lawn Party on August 30. Thank you also to the Way Out Gallery and the Ward Family for their hard work on the recent Painted Bamboo fundraiser. The overwhelming generosity of the community is part of what makes Rensselaerville the special place that it is, and the Library greatly appreciates your support.

Join us for our new season of First Friday movies, kicking off at Conkling Hall on Friday, October 3 at 6: 30P.M. with the Tim Burton classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, stumbles upon Christmastown and is so taken, that he urges the residents of Halloweentown to put on their own version of Christmas. Run time: 76 minutes. Rated PG for some scary images.
