Congratulations to our Robotics team! They did a great job on their robot. Come to the library to see the robot in action.
We are looking to see if we have interest to start up a new robotics team. This team would build a Sea Perch Robot (runs under water). If you are interested, please let us know at the library.
Have you used your library card to take advantage of our Free Museum Passes? This young patron is exploring the exhibits at MiSci. We also offer passes to the Hyde Museum and the Saratoga Children’s Museum. See details on the “Borrow” tab above or stop in to check out a pass!

TEEN ADVISORY BOARD
The Galway Public Library is currently enrolling teens in the Teen Advisory Board. The group will be comprised of teens and will support the Library’s Youth Services Coordinator in the planning and execution of programs for teens. The TAB will meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00pm. These meetings will be a fun and engaging opportunity for teens to earn volunteer hours as they help prepare and organize activities at the library – all while hanging out with friends! Teens will learn new skills and have an opportunity to gain a source for a reference and for a letter of recommendation provided that they are active, reliable participants in the program. Please reach out to Julie Pasieka at 518-882-6385 for more information or to register for the program.
Tell us what you’ve enjoyed reading lately and we’ll post your book review.
