Old is News Again
Ever wish you had kept that old issue of 10964? Do you
want to research the last thirty years of Palisades’ history?
Find it at the Library. We recently scanned all the
10964 newsletters, going back to the first issue in 1977.
10964 is now keyword searchable and you can easily research
past issues for people or events.
New Periodicals
We have added six magazines to our list of 69: American
Girl, Atlantic Monthly, Fine Gardening, Harpers Magazine,
Nintendo Power, and Sports Illustrated for Kids. All
periodicals circulate for 7 days, including current issues.
Take a trip to the Intrepid Museum
Enjoy a day at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The museum pass admits six and can be checked out for

Guggenheim, Museum of Natural History, New York
Botanical Garden, Museum Village, NYC Fire Museum
