“The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may have hope for the future of man.” T.S. Eliot
The Fair Haven Public Library is recommending that all patrons wear a mask but in keeping with CDC and NY State Guidance will not require vaccinated individuals to wear a mask, as our patrons do include a younger audience that is unable to be vaccinated at this time we ask that you continue to maintain social distancing in the library and remain aware of others who may be unvaccinated.
Summer Reading at Fair Haven Public Library
Adults and teens are invited to participate in our summer reading prize drawing see photos below… earn tickets each time you turn in a reading log or attend a program…. Free programs for the entire family…children may turn in Scavenger Hunt form and reading logs for independent reading to earn prizes. Reading logs and Scavenger Hunt Forms available at the library!
This summer we have an exciting program of events planned at the Fair Haven Public Library. With the theme being “Tails and Tales” you can expect activities that will include both books and animals.
We have partnered with several local businesses for a Scavenger Hunt to take place July 13- August 24.
Each participating business will display a “Tail” photo for you to identify. When you have identified all the animals, turn in your list at the library to receive a prize. Forms with the list of businesses can be obtained at the FH library.
We will also have reading logs to keep track of your summer reading. The first 25 to register and pick up their reading log will obtain a special bag with information and a prize. After each completed log is turned in you will be able to pick out more prizes, books or receive a chance for a grand prize.
Finally, we have some special guests coming to the library for some fun programs.
July 13, 1 pm Sterling Nature Center
July 27, 1 pm Mr. Boydell for an art lesson
August 10, 1 pm Buster, the therapy dog
August 21, 1 pm Speak like a Pirate / Pirate Day with Captain Rick
August 24 will end our program. All forms will need to be turned in by then. A drawing will take place for our grand prize.
