CALLING ALL KIDS ages 1-17!!!!  Our Virtual Summer Reading program, Imagine your Summer at the Morrisville Public Library has begun!  All the details can be found on our website (morrisvillepubliclibrary.org) and here is the link to sign up online to count your minutes: http://morrisvillelibraryny11.readsquared.com/.  Lots of cool offline events to attend too!  Check out our webpage at: https://morrisvillepubliclibrary.org/events/summer-reading-2020/

We have been doing NO CONTACT PICK UP for almost two months 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 25 items and two of those can be NEW DVD’s and four NEW books!  Hours are now:  Tuesday/Thursday 12pm-6pm and Wednesday 4pm-7pm!  (If you want a Wednesday night appointment make sure your “order” is in by Wednesday at noon each week!)  Remember to wear your face covering!

We also are 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.

Do you need a Madison County Landfill Punch Card?  We are selling them again for $15 each!  Patrons MUST call the library (or email) requesting how many they would like.  A library staff member will contact them for a pick up time on T/TH from 12-6pm or Wednesday 4-7pm!  Money MUST be EXACT and put into a plastic Ziploc bag (must be see through).  At your appointed time, a staff member will come out with your punch card and place on our pickup table and you are to place your payment there as well.  A face covering MUST be worn during the transaction.
