Help our Animal Friends!
For the month of February, the South Country Library will be collecting supplies to send to the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons. We will accept only new, unopened supplies of toys, dry dog and cat food, treats, leashes, collars, towels (can be used, but washed), canned baby food (fruit or vegetable) gift cards to supermarkets or pet stores, wild bird seed, Cheerios and any size Rubbermaid totes with lids. Please drop off donations in the Children’s Department.
This program offers parents an opportunity to talk parent to parent and share parenting concerns in a non-judgmental setting where they can learn, listen and be listened to. Children are welcome. Registration is required for this four-week program which has begun.
