The Hungry Ear, the Library program celebrating the art of the short story, brings dramatic readings of two stories where dogs start the narrative. Truman Capote's “This is for Jamie,” is about a boy who wants a dog more than anything. “The Lady and the Dog,” by Anton Chekhov, is a tale of a certain woman whose dog catches the eye of an admirer. Or is it the woman? These stories will be told, as they have been since 2007, by The Hungry Ear Readers, hosted by Judy McMahon. Registration is not required. For more information, please call the Library at 778-6451.

Summer Reading Program sign-ups begin on June 19, 2017 and events begin on June 26, 2017!

We have lots of fun programs planned for families and kids of all ages! Families completing their Summer Reading Logs by August 19 will receive free books for each member of the family and a ticket to the August 21 Binghamton Rumble Ponies game for each child, and these families will also be entered into a drawing for some special prizes!

The Library now has a collection of circular and double pointed knitting needles that they will loan out.  There are 35 circular needles in a variety of sizes and 10 sets of double pointed needles in various sizes.  The needles will circulate for 3 weeks and can be renewed once.  You can call Information services with any questions (778-6451).

The group is open to anyone who enjoys coloring for relaxation or creative expression. You can bring your own coloring book and color pencils but the library will provide coloring pages and pencils and crayons for the meeting. The group will meet every Wednesday from 5:30-7:30. For more information, please call the Library’s Information Services Department at 607-778-6451.
