FALL-WINTER 2015 NEWSLETTER
Congratulations to Rita Finley for winning Southern Tier Library System’s Outstanding Advocate for Libraries Award
for her many contributions to the Pulteney Free Library. We appreciate all the time and efforts she has spent working for the
Library: as Trustee, President, Newsletter editor, and organizer of the Library’s Vote Yes campaign. This award recognizes extraordinary contributions to the development, improvement or expansion of library service to the residents of the Southern Tier
Library System. Thank you Rita for all you’ve done for the Library.
Thank you to the Fred & Harriett Taylor Foundation for a grant for books and materials. We also want to thank the
Coordinated Outreach Services Advisory Council for their grant for two iPads. These iPads will be used in demonstrating the
benefits of using apps on iPads to provide brain stimulation for people with neurological conditions. The app MIND uses art and
music to engage patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors, stroke, and traumatic brain injury, in
emotional and physical activities.
Thank you to the Hammondsport Rotary for funding a new digital projector. Using the projector we’ll be able to demonstrate apps on the iPads to a group.
Inside the newsletter is a list of the sponsors and winners of our adult Summer Reading Program. Thank you to all our
sponsors for making this such a great program.
The Library and the Pulteney Firemen’s Auxiliary are having our annual Breakfast with Santa on December 12 from
9:00 to 11:00. Admission is donation to the food pantry of one non-perishable item per person.
