HAVERSTRAW KING’S DAUGHTERS

PUBLIC LIBRARY Excellence in Service Since 1895

A Note From the Director

Are You a Library Champion? Every winter library folks from around the state head to Albany to advocate for state funding of libraries of all kinds.

We love to share stories with our legislators of how the library has changed people’s lives. If you’ve got a great story

to tell about how important HKDPL is to you and your family, please email us at [email protected]. And let us

know if you want to add your voice in person when we go north on Tuesday, February 25, 2020.

Sustainability

2020 marks the 125th anniversary of HKDPL. Society has changed a lot and we want to help lead the way in

Haverstraw to ensure that we’re here for another 125. Reducing energy consumption by installing solar panels and

instituting a recycling program are only part of the picture. We’ll be implementing shifts in all areas of our business

so that our actions incorporate practices that are environmentally sound AND economically feasible AND socially

equitable. Our intention is to be certified as a Sustainable Library by the New York Library Association, and continue

to support a Haverstraw that is thriving and able to bounce back from disruption.

Welcome to Erin & Janis

Please join me in welcoming Erin P. and Janis K. to our HDKPL family! Erin is our new

librarian in Adult Services and will be happy to find your next favorite read or connect

you to the resources you need. Janis works in our Technical Services department, which

means she’s responsible for getting our new materials shelf-ready for you to discover.

A Fond Farewell

We're very sad to announce that after 14 years on our team, librarian Rio A. is leaving to take a Teen

Librarian position at a public library in Westchester. Rio started as an Information Services Assistant

and then went on to achieve her Master's degree in Library & Information Science. We wish her all the

best and hope she comes back to visit!

Service Recognition

We are so very lucky to have a dedicated team of people who are committed to the Library and to you, our

community. I’d like to take this opportunity to recognize those team members whose anniversaries occur during

November and December: Victor C., 3 years; Priscilla H., 13 years; Alice K., 2 years; Anne S., 14 years; Tim T., 2 years;

Sajan T., 2 years in August; and Charlotte V., 41 years. That is 77 years of service to this institution and to the

community. If you see any of these folks around, please join me in congratulating them! This recognition of team

members is a regular feature in our newsletter.

See you in the stacks!

Winter and snow are on the

way. If North Rockland

will open at 1 pm. If the

weather is still bad at 11:30 am, the Library will

not open. Closings are announced on our
