\"New<\/a>The Frances Fuggle Program Room will receive new flooring and paint during renovations at the New Woodstock Free Library Feb. 9 through 17.\u00a0 The library will be closed during the work and will reopen Feb. 18.<\/em><\/p>\n

(New Woodstock, NY \u2013 Feb. 2014) The New Woodstock Free Library will be closed from Sunday, Feb. 9 through Monday, Feb. 17 for renovations.\u00a0 The library will reopen on Tuesday, Feb. 18.<\/p>\n

The renovations coincide with the start of the library\u2019s 75th<\/sup> year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our diamond anniversary\u201d observed Library Director Norm Parry.\u00a0 \u201cThe library was founded by New York State Education Department charter in 1939 and has served generations of readers and information seekers over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren have grown up using the library, married and brought their children to enjoy the programs, materials and information.\u00a0 In some cases children are reading the same titles their parents loved.\u00a0 Sometimes it is actually the same book itself,\u201d Parry said.<\/p>\n

The current renovations emphasize the fact that the library has changed over the years, but remains essentially the same in service to the community.\u00a0 \u201cThe New Woodstock Free Library moved several times.\u00a0 The buildings have been renovated, repaired and restored, but the library itself has a soul that survives location and personnel.\u00a0 The library is the work of the hearts and hands of the community,\u201d Parry said.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve added computers, movies, e-books and audio books, but the library is, and always has been, the work of volunteers and librarians serving their neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the library reopens Feb. 18, new flooring and paint will add to the recently completed lighting and energy conservation measures to make the place shine,\u201d Parry concluded.<\/p>\n

The New Woodstock Free Library is located at 2106 Main Street (Route 13) in the hamlet of New Woodstock.<\/p>\n
