GREENE — February is Library Lovers’ Month. Come celebrate with us! Our staff cordially invites you to find hidden love letters in our stacks. We have hidden these letters throughout the library. If you find one, bring it to the front desk and redeem it for a chocolate. If you can guess who wrote the letter you will receive an extra chocolate. If you check out material related to the author of the letter you will receive a third chocolate. So, stop in and join the fun!

February is also Black History Month. Stop by and check out displays on famous doctors, NASA computer specialists and more. The library will be hosting an African percussion workshop with Prince Shapiro on Saturday, February 19 for elementary and middle school students. Registration is required. Call for details: (607) 656-9349.

The library shares space with the local historical society and houses a museum with an extensive collection of local history. The Museum will be open to the public on Saturday, February 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Moore Memorial Library was established in 1904 with the support of the Nathaniel and Rachael Moore family. The library opened with a collection of 7,500 books. Today the collection has grown to over 50,000 books, 42 magazines, and 3 newspapers. We currently offer materials in print, audio, DVD, and electronic formats. The library offers an open Wi-Fi network and public computer access.

In 2007, we received a NYS library construction grant that allowed the library to greatly enhance our juvenile section and collections. A twenty-seat computer lab was established in 2009.

The library mission is to provide current popular materials for all ages, purchase current reference and circulating materials to respond to the information needs of our citizens, and provide democratic access to important resources in our community.
