The Greene County Reads was on this past Friday, September 9, 2022. The book discussion was about the book: “The Butterfly Effect” by Rachel Mans McKenny. The author was there as well as Jan Scharingson as discussion leader. Rippey had 15 in attendance, and it was a great discussion. The event was held at three of the six Greene County Libraries that day with the Rippey Library from 12:30 to 2pm. This program was funded by the Greene County Board of Supervisors and the Greene County Library Association.
The Rippey Library has upgraded its catalog this month. You can access this new catalog on our website and then by clicking the catalog button on the main page. One of the biggest improvements of this upgrade is you can look up and reserve items online. Be sure to check that out.
