The 50th annual Lewisboro Library Fair will be held rain or shine, on Saturday, September 25 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at Onatru Farm. The Farm is also the site for the Book and Toy Pre-Sale, for Lewisboro residents only, on Thursday, September 23 from 5:30-9:00 pm. The Pre-Sale will be open to everyone on Friday, September 24 at 10:00 am. Children's books will be open until 2:00 pm, while Adult books will stay open until 4:30 pm.

     The Fair has something for everyone! The big draw is the Book Sale, but the Fair also features “Attic Treasures,” a silent auction, food, games, hayrides, music, and vintage cars. Back by popular demand this year is our amazing corn maze, created by the Lewisboro Garden Club. The maze is an homage to Lewisboro, decorated with vintage road signs and other memorabilia.  A fun new activity this year is a Photo Booth with a 1960’s theme.

     The Fair’s Concours d’Elegance is a low-key but fun antique car show that features a wide variety of vehicles from show cars to weekend cruisers. There is no entrance fee, but space is limited. To register,  contact Dean Travalino at 763-5393 or r5fuego@aol.com. Plaques  will be awarded to winners in six categories courtesy of the sponsor,  Arroway Chevrolet Cadillac.

      There is also a raffle held at the Fair each year. Raffle tickets were mailed out to homes in mid-August, and will also be available for sale at the library and at the Fair itself. Tickets are $10 each or $40 for a book of five tickets. First prize is an Apple iMac Desktop Computer, second prize is an Apple iPad, and third prize is dinner for two at Le Chateau Restaurant. Winners need not be present to collect their prize.  

     Volunteers Needed - The Fair is our major fundraiser for the year. All proceeds go directly into our operating budget, which funds new materials and programs to benefit the entire community. We depend on the help of volunteers to run the Fair. We are currently seeking volunteers to help out before and on Fair Day. If you are available to move the books into place on September 18, or work at the Book Pre-Sale or Fair, please click on this link or sign up the library.

 Important Note: Reduced Library Hours

Due to cutbacks from the town, the Lewisboro Library had to reduce its service hours and library materials budget, and cut part-time staff hours as of January, 2010. The Library is no longer open on  Sunday and Monday. In addition, our book pickup service from our drop boxes in Vista and Goldens Bridge have been discontinued.

Try the New BookMyne App

Want to check the status of your library account while away from home? The Westchester Library System has now made a FREE app available for iPhone and iTouch users to access the online catalog. Use BookMyne to easily search for books, place holds or renew from your iPhone or iTouch. This is not specifically made for iPad yet - you could download it but it will appear very small. Download the app at the iTunes store. For more information, visit this link

Helpful Databases 

The Westchester Library System has acquired two new databases we want to share with you. Tell Me More® is a complete language learning solution featuring more than 2,000 hours of learning per language.  Languages include:  American English, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish. This service is only currently compatible with Internet Explorer.  The Job & Career Accelerator, a comprehensive online job search system, is now available to help overwhelmed job seekers find employment. This innovative online resource provides job seekers everything they need to find their next job, all in one easy-to-use application. Both these online programs are available at no charge with your library card and can be accessed at a library or at home. 

Library Email Newsletter

The Library has a monthly email newsletter to keep patrons informed of upcoming programs. To sign up for the service, send an email to lewisborolibrary@gmail.com.
