News Release

SYRACUSE — The Friends of the Syracuse Public Library will resume its monthly meetings at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 6, in the library’s downstairs meeting room. This meeting occurs before the library opens, so attendees will need to knock on the Harrison Street door nearest to the staff parking lot.

The Friends support the Syracuse Public Library and its mission of lifelong learning in five primary ways: sponsorships, fundraisers, donations, volunteering and programming. Those interested in supporting the library and joining the Friends can attend the meeting.

Children can attend story time and home-school class at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 5, in the children’s department. Preschoolers will listen to picture books, play games and create a letter-themed craft. Meanwhile, home-schooled children will begin a dissection unit.

Teens can join the young adult video gaming night and play games on the library’s Nintendo Switch while enjoying snacks. This program runs from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the Rosalyn Jones Room, and teens can drop in and out as they need to.

The young adult department will hold a special open house from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Monday, March 10, in the Rosalyn Jones Room.
