Putnam County Office for Senior Resources at the Library for an Hour Every Month, on First Thursday

Every first Thursday before our lecture series with Philipstown Aging at Home, you can stop by the library to meet with representatives from the Office for Senior Resources and learn about available programs and services for older adults 60 and over.

Technology Help

Assistance with most forms of technology –– computers, internet connectivity, tablets or phones, makerspace equipment, software, or consultation –– is available by appointment at the Library. Appointments are 30 minutes in length and conducted by the Digital Services Librarian or other qualified member of Library staff. Patrons are permitted up to two appointments in one week. If there is an emergency and you require more time, please email ryan@desmondfishlibrary.org to schedule, rather than booking here.
