Fall Fest a Success

This past September’s Library Fall Fest was a big success. Fun was had by all ages, with hundreds of visitors shopping, tasting, listening, and playing at the library.

From live bluegrass music to storytelling, shopping, and pony rides, the library was hopping – inside and out. Thanks to our vendors and teen volunteers, who raised over $400 for the Friends of the Library, and to the Colonie Jammers for donating their musical talents.

Already looking forward to next year? We are. Future festivals, fairs, and themed events are already in the works
