THE LATEST BOOK IN LOCAL RESIDENT TAS CRU'S BLUES DOGS SERIES

In this second book of the blues dogs trilogy Bad Dog Bubba is on a mission to form his all dog blues band.  Bubba enlists help from his blues-loving buddy Scooter and Bclef, the bass playing gal  from his owner's blues band.  Bclef's experience and more important, her ability to talk dog will prove vital to making Bubba's dream a reality as will Scooter's upbeat energy and unleashed enthusiasm!  Bubba has proven himself to be a skilled songwriter but does he have what it takes to make and lead a band?

This book introduces a pack of new dog characters - all would-be blues dog recruits who need some convincing.  Bubba's sweetheart, Sylvia returns to play an important role as the story unfolds.   

Book three will showcase the band as it develops its repertoire of songs that Bubba writes about each of them.  These songs can be heard on the music album Doggone Blues, which is now available for purchase.

New Materials - Lists of our newly acquired materials will be posted on our website and on Facebook.

Pickup - Library Staff will call you to schedule a pickup time when items are available. Items will be wrapped in plastic and placed in a locker on the front porch. If you are unable to climb the stairs we will make arrangements to place your books in an area that is accessible. Pickups will be scheduled every 15 minutes to allow for 1 person at a time on the porch. We ask patrons to respect 6 foot social distancing and NYS mask requirements.

Returns – Returns may be placed in a box on the porch during regular business hours. Please follow the same steps as above for social distancing. Please do not leave items on the porch when we are closed – we cannot be responsible for their safe return.

Precautions - The building will remain closed to the public during Front Porch Pickup. There will be no physical contact between staff and patrons.

Did you know your local library has thousands of ebooks and audiobooks?

You can borrow them, instantly, for free, using just the device in your hand.

  North Country Library System patrons will now be able to access the entire catalog right from their smartphones. The App allows patrons to search for and reserve books across the system and manage their account. It can  act as a digital library card, as it is able to be scanned to check out books. The app has information on all 65 branches in the system, including hours and locations. The calendar feature, which sorts events by county, allows patrons to explore neighboring libraries. Our favorite feature is the ISBN scanner. If you see a book in a store you think you might like to read, scan the barcode on the book and it will tell you if it’s in our catalog. The North Country Library System app is available to download for free on Apple and Android devices.
