Gardiner Public Library
Off on a trip . . .
When I set off on a vacation, particularly to a place I have never been to before, I enjoy borrowing travel books so I can have the lay of the land and major “hot spots” already in my mind. The library has many volumes of travel books such as Fodor’s, Frommer’s, and Idiot’s Guides to help you plan and think about your trip way before you actually arrive and begin to make those decisions on the spur of the moment. I was saved during my first trip to Disney World by these guides. Without them I would have had no …

Pictures were taken and there was plenty of laughter. This event was such a …

Library “Seasons”
Have you ever wondered about the “seasons” within the Gardiner Public Library? To the average visitor, it probably just seems as if we are a really busy library and just leave it at that. However, if you look a bit closer, our ebb and flow changes with the season and we are just about ready to launch into our fall season! No one wants to admit it, but we are all seeing just a peek of fall color as we drive along our roads. The public school teachers who are one of our favorite visitors during the summer are …
