· Due to cuts in state and county funding, the Mid-Hudson Library
System has found it necessary to charge a delivery fee
to the library of twenty-five cents for each requested item. We are absorbing
this cost for now. At the present, only items not picked up within
seven days will be charged a fee of twenty-five cents per item.
