Homeschool Events at CNY Libraries

We are excited to offer a class all about food preservation in preparation for bountiful summer gardens! Our guest, Amanda Hewitt, will deliver a program on various ways to preserve harvested food and give you tips on how to make it easy, fun, and safe. We hope you can join us!

✅ If you plan to attend, please register through the Mid York app or by giving us a call.

The countdown to Summer Reading has begun! Sign ups start on Monday June 29th. Kids 12 and under will join their dinosaur themed teams to see who can read the most over 6 weeks. Teens 13-17 will play Dinopoly to track their time spent reading. Join us at the Library to "Unearth a Story" this summer!

We are hiring! The Kirkland Town Library has an immediate opening for a part-time patron services associate. Exemplary customer service, computer skills, and a comfort level with digital devices are necessary. 10+ hours per week. Must be available to work weekday, evening, and weekend hours. A complete job description is on our website. Submit your cover letter and resume by dropping it off or emailing it to [email protected]. The deadline to apply is Monday, June 15.

Stop in for our Plant-A-Seed Take & Make. Pick up the supplies you need to grow sunflowers, squash, or cilantro at home! You’ll get seeds from our Seed Library, potting soil, a container, and instructions about transplanting them outside when it’s time. One per household; while supplies last.

Our resident fairy, Tulip, will be celebrating her 1st birthday with us on Wednesday March 25, 2026!

Tulip’s Birthday Bash!
Young, old, and everyone in between! Tulip insists you’re all invited. She’s turning… well, she won’t tell us her age, but trust us, she looks fabulous!

Swing by anytime all day to help us celebrate our glitter-loving fairy. Enjoy a free birthday cupcake (Tulip approved) and a tiny goody bag stuffed with whimsy.

Fairy Box Challenge!
Take home your very own fairy box to decorate for a chance to win a full fairy set! Boxes must be returned by Friday, April 17, and the winner will be announced by the end of April; assuming Tulip doesn’t get distracted by sparkles and forget.

“Decorate a fairy box?” you ask.
Yes. Absolutely.
Using whatever magical materials you have at home, create what you imagine Tulip’s house-- or even just one room-- looks like. Bedroom? Living room? Chaotic glitter closet? Go wild.

Important Fairy Logistics:
• Fairy boxes are limited.
• One per family (or two if your family is larger than four. Tulip believes in fairness).
• This celebration is for all ages. Grown-ups, you are not only allowed but encouraged to embrace your inner fairy.

Free Books All Month Long!

From Monday, March 2 through Saturday, March 28, we’ve cleared out the book sale room and set aside a fresh selection of titles — all completely free. (Located in our Library Program Room)
Come browse, take what you love, and give these books a new home!

Stop into the library’s program room during open hours and take home anything you’d like from these materials. Please bring your own bags or boxes, as the library won’t have any available.
