Fall is the season of harvest and giving thanks. To celebrate the season, the Colonie Library is joining libraries across New York State in the Great Give Back Campaign! The mission of The Great Give Back is to provide opportunities for library patrons to participate in meaningful, service-oriented experiences. As such, we are collecting boxed and canned food to donate to local pantries. Please help us to fill our basket for families in need! Through Friday, November 20.
