UHLS provides a Books by Mail service for individuals in our service area who have difficulty getting to the Library because of loss of vision or other disability. We mail up to three large print or audio (CD) books at a time at no cost to the recipient. Books will arrive in a library mail bag, and have been checked out to your library account. When you are ready to return them, simply flip over the mailing label in the window, and put the bag with your outgoing mail. For more information and to register, visit https://www.uhls.org/books-by-mail/
Hoopla allows you to borrow movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks, comics and TV shows to enjoy on your computer, tablet, or phone – and even your TV! With no waiting, titles can be streamed immediately, or downloaded to phones or tablets for offline enjoyment later.
North Greenbush Public Library provides you 5 instant borrows each month. These digital borrows will reset every month and you can borrow more than one title at a time. Books are available for 21 days, videos are available for 72 hours, and music titles are available for 7 days after you borrow.
Hoopla is available on your desktop, phone, tablet, Alexa devices, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV. Make sure to download the app to take your borrows anywhere. Any questions or issues, email us at library@northgreenbushlibrary.org.
Braille books and services for the visually-impaired are available at the Sand Lake Public Library and the Troy Public Library. In addition, the New York State Library has numerous resources for the blind and visually impaired.

It's a win-win. You don't have to waste time feeding empties to a machine, and the library gets a donation! Please bring your empty cans and bottles to the 6 Cent Redemption Center, 461 Main Ave, Wynantskill. Thanks to a program sponsored by the North Greenbush Friends of the Library, you can request that your deposit refund be donated to the library. The redemption center will sort and count all of your glass and plastic bottles, and cans eligible for a NYS deposit and will donate the proceeds to the library.
Please note: containers must be redeemed at the redemption center. The library cannot accept empty bottles and cans!
