Please join us as we return to First Friday Movie Night, on Friday Nov 5th. We will be watching and then discussing Nature's "Leave it to Beavers" to discover why this curious animal is so important to our landscapes and ecosystems – Surprisingly, the beaver, more than any other animal, is responsible for creating fertile landscapes across North America. Unfortunately, it hasn't received much recognition for that accomplishment until now. A growing number of scientists, conservationists and grass-roots environmentalists have come to regard beavers as overlooked tools in reversing the effects of global warming and world-wide water shortages. After the movie, we will explore and discuss how the information affects and relates to our own lives, and livelihoods. Age appropriate from those in middle school to retirees! For the budding environmentalist, and also those curious about how nature and the natural world works. All are welcome, as are questions and comments.

Library Covid-19 masking policies will be in effect. The current library policy is as follows: At the May 18, 2021 Regular Board meeting, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby acknowledges and adopts the May 19, 2021 NYS regulations which allow fully vaccinated individuals to conduct most public indoor activities without a mask, including within a Public Library, and rescinds all prior Board resolutions on this subject that are inconsistent with this new regulation and current CDC guidelines. Because of the high numbers of both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals still contracting Covid-19, 4HAS recommends that even vaccinated individuals wear masks indoors.
