MAKE A DIFFERENCE CLUB fundraising event
for the PV Library


 
     Last construction update, posted on the Library's Facebook page, Oct. 2nd:
 
When it was discovered that cracks in the wall on the Library's second floor were increasing, engineers were called in and our 2-story building was closed. After obtaining the necessary permits, construction began in May 2014. Approximately 400 sq. ft. of the second floor, which was built over the porch supported by the vertical piers adjacent to Oscawana Brook, was demolished. A new second floor front wall was built. The new window upstairs was installed on August 27th.

This construction project addressed structural issues. It was not a renovation of the building. The loss of the office and collection space upstairs generated changes in the layout of the Children’s & Teen collections. However, the main floor of the Library and the collections downstairs remain the same.

The final details of the current construction project need to be completed and the work inspected prior to the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy by the Building Dept. There are also some building repairs which must be addressed before we can reopen.

Please note that our parking lot is fully open. Our entrance is at the north end of the parking lot adjacent to the illuminated sign. Our exit is again located at the south end of the parking lot. Both our entrance and exit are one way traffic only.

You can continue to pick up library materials that you have requested online as well as return items in our Community Room. Just walk across our covered bridge for access to the room or to return Library materials in our book drop when we’re closed.

To order library materials online, click on the Mid-Hudson catalog icon on our website. Your Library card can also be used at any of the 65 other libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library System.

Hudson Highlands Land Trust Commits to Preserve
Additional 2,500 Acres over Next Five Years
 
HHLT Celebrates 25th Anniversary with More than 300 Supporters and Friends
 
During the Hudson Highlands Land Trust’s (HHLT) 25th Anniversary Gala on Friday, October 10th at Boscobel House and Gardens, HHLT Director Fred Rich announced the Land Trust’s commitment to preserve 2,500 acres of Legacy Landscapes parcels, directly and in partnership with other regional organizations, over the next five years. Leading the way, eight HHLT Board Members have pledged to donate conservation agreements on their own properties.
 
Established in 2011, the Legacy Landscapes Project is a strategic plan that identifies parcels throughout the Land Trust’s mission area that are important land protection priorities. The Land Trust will continue its work in partnership with private landowners, regional organizations and government agencies, like NYS Parks and DEC, to achieve this ambitious goal.
 
Mr. Rich’s announcement of the Land Trust’s commitment to build on its past success and continue to serve as the region’s primary agent for preserving open space was made during the formal program portion of HHLT’s gala celebration of 25 years of protecting the Hudson Highlands, which was attended by more than 330 friends, supporters and partners of the community-based land conservation organization.
 
Boscobel Executive Director Steve Miller opened the evening by welcoming the Land Trust and its guests.  HHLT Executive Director Andy Chmar introduced HHLT’s partners and local elected officials, and was followed by a short film by award-winning documentarian Stephen Ives on the Land Trust’s River of Words environmental education program.  Chris Davis, HHLT Chairman, rounded out the evening, sharing heartfelt remarks about his own inspiration for joining the Land Trust’s Board and then inviting the assemblage to head to the Belvedere for the event’s finale, a fireworks display over the Hudson River.
 
The Hudson Highlands Land Trust is an accredited, community-based non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of the natural resources, rural character, and scenic beauty of the Hudson Highlands. To learn more about HHLT’s programs and conservation work, please visit www.hhlt.org.

Note from the Webmaster:

For the residents of Putnam Valley who have asked where this information is coming from, it is gathered together from the many websites, facebook pages, bulletins, flyers, signs, posters, newsletters and e-mails of the various organizations and entities represented.

 As to who pushes buttons on a keyboard to bring it to you,
my name is Michael S. Bennett; my family and I are residents of Putnam Valley.

I am associated with several organizations within our town that have expressed
frustration in trying to spread the word about their programs and activities.
Upon moving to Putnam Valley, my family also experienced difficulty
in getting information regarding where to go for the assistance
our town and county were providing during inclement weather,
power outages and hazardous conditions.

It is hoped that this information delivery system may assist both of those needs.
