I know it's a busy week, but if you find time, come on in to grab a book, just in case you get a few minutes to curl up beside the fire (or heater)!
We will be closed on Christmas Eve, but open again on Saturday, the 26th, so you can get a good book to ring in the New Year, or the kids can find something to keep them busy during vacation! 🙂
Northfield Pharmacy
With the weather turning chillier we are finding curbside delivery a bit of a challenge. So, with that in mind and our cautious optimism about cases leveling out in our region the Northfield Pharmacy has decided to reopen our doors to walk in customers starting Friday December 18th.
Curbside pickup is REQUIRED for those quarantining AND their fellow household members. This includes those traveling from out of state.
Curbside delivery will continue to be an option for those that prefer that method
Credit card is our preferred form of payment
Pick up procedures incorporate our new smartphone and web App, RXLocal which helps free up our phone lines.
• Place prescription order requests using the RXLocal smartphone App, at the www.northfieldpharmacy.com website or our automated phone system. We can even send requests for renewals to your provider.
• Confirm prescriptions are ready using the App or website (preferred); or through text at (802) 348-2695 before coming down to the pharmacy
• In store procedures
o Hand sanitizer is provided on your way in the store to protect us, and on the way out to protect you
o Pay attention to traffic flow markers. One door will be for incoming customers and the second is for exiting customers
o Wear mask covering both mouth and nose while in store and stay 6 feet apart from staff and fellow shoppers
o Do not linger in store. If your prescriptions will take more time to prepare you will be asked to wait in your car
• Curbside Procedures
o OTC shopping lists can be sent using either the in-App messaging or through text
o Once you’ve confirmed that your order is ready CALL the store at 485-4771 with credit card information before heading down
o CALL the store again once you are outside and we will ask what vehicle you are in and run your order out to your car. Please stay inside your vehicle. The delivery will be no-contact
As always, you can call if needed. Thank you for your continued support and understanding

Roxbury Free Library
Unfortunately we will not be able to have any in person ornament making here at the RFL this year, but we are putting together ornament kits so you and the kids can do it at home! Please RSVP to the library (485-6860) by December 8 at 6 p.m., so we will know the amount of materials we need. Kits will be available for pick up December 16-19.
Contact us to RSVP or with any questions!
In keeping with the Gov's recommendations there will not be our traditional Christmas on the Common this year due to the COVID 19 outbreak. In saying this we would like you to know we are going to have a tree lighting Friday, December 4, 2020 at 6:00 PM. Please do a drive by and take a look at the glorious tree donated by Paul Abare of Abare's Tree Farm on Union Brook right here in Northfield.
We are asking the businesses to outline their storefront windows with clear lights to help illuminate the common and to add some "sparkle" to our beautiful downtown. If you could have these lights on for our Friday night tree lighting it would be wonderful. Thank you for participating.
Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season.
