We've been working on this item and have perfected it to the best of our abilities.

Presenting: The Expandable Pumpkin Candy Bucket

Each bucket was made on the 3D printers at the Sally Ploof Hunter Memorial Library.

The regular size container is $20. You can upgrade to the larger size for just $10 more ($30 Total).

Due to the time and materials needed these are PRINT TO ORDER. Each bucket takes between 9-12 hours to print, depending on the size. All orders placed by October 27th will be available by Halloween.

The buckets are to be picked up at the Sally Ploof Hunter Memorial Library in Black River.

The proceeds from this will go toward purchasing more materials for further 3D printing for projects at the library, including our Senior Care Bag, Summer Reading Program, etc.

Mark your calendars for two great events happening in November!

On Thursday, November 5th from 6-7pm, our library will host the NY Citizen Preparedness Training Program provided by the NY State Office of the Governor and the New York National Guard. This program will be held in our Community Room. We welcome all community members to this event to learn about vital emergency preparedness procedures that can be used at home. We also welcome local leadership and emergency service providers to this event to meet community members and answer any questions they may have regarding local emergency policies and procedures.

On Monday, November 9 from 10:30-12:30, our library will host a Homeschool Mixer for all current and prospective homeschool families of all grades and ages. We will have fun activity stations set up for kids while parents and guardians connect and share community resources and information. This will also be a time for our library to gauge the need and interest for future homeschool programming. Refreshments will be generously provided by Burrville C***r Mill and Stewarts Shops. For planning purposes, we ask families who are interested in attending our mixer to please let our library know the number of family members who will be attending. You are welcome to message our page, email our library at [email protected] or call 315-773-5163 to do so.
