Wood LibraryWhere Tradition, Technology and Community Meet WE WISH YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!All of us at Wood Library are so grateful for the volunteers, donors, and advocates who make our work possible! *Closed Thursday, November 23 & Friday, November 24. ROC the Day for Wood Library on November 28Help us build a Little Free Farm Stand!Food insecurity is a very real problem for people in our community. The Ontario County Public Health Office recently shared that 61% of households in the Finger Lakes Region report that they do not have access to adequate food. The troubling upward trend of households reporting food insecurity since the pandemic has consequences on individual physical health and mental well-being across all age groups.This is why we decided to dedicate all donations made to Wood Library on ROC the Day to help us build a Little Free Farm Stand. From May to October, we will stock the stand with fresh produce, cut flowers, and starter plants donated by community members from their own gardens. Everything will be free of charge.With your help, we can fight hunger and food insecurity. Our fundraising goal is $2,000. On November 28, click here to make your donation. Thank you!

Here are a few things to keep in mind during the entire holiday season. Read more.
