The library manager is a librarian chicken farmer again this year! We are trying our hand, again, at hatching eggs! We placed them in the incubator on Saturday June 13, they should hatch the weekend of July 4, and we will be going Facebook Live for the entire event again this year! Check out this link for all the dates and times of our Facebook live events leading up to the hatching: https://morrisvillepubliclibrary.org/events/virtual-chick-incubation-and-hatching-2020/
We have been doing NO CONTACT PICK UP for over 3 weeks now and it is going well! Here are all the details! Place Your Order and Schedule a Pickup time by calling the library (315-684-9130), emailing us (morrisville@midyork.org), or our preference, filling out the Google Form online (https://forms.gle/DMDHPKAsVpiVXYsS6) to place your order. Be sure to give us your name, phone number or email address, items desired, pickup time frame, and any other relevant information pertaining to your order. All the “rules” and FAQ’s can be found at our website: morrsivillepubliclibrary.org! You can checkout up to 15 items and two of those can be NEW DVD’s and four NEW books!
Starting the week of June 22, we are now taking “orders” for faxes, copies and printed materials as well as scheduling notary appointments! All patrons must EMAIL the library at morrisville@midyork.org with the documents they need to have printed, copies made, or faxes sent. They need to list how many copies made, if they need it stapled, double-sided, etc. and for faxes, what number the document needs to be sent to. The Library will not be handling papers from the no contact pick up area at this time for copies, prints, and faxes. Patrons may now make a notary appointment by calling the library at 315-684-9130 or emailing the Notary at mrounds@midyork.org. The notary will contact the patron within 48 hours of initial contact to set up a time to meet.
