Altamont Library Notes for Saturday, August 30, 2014

Summer’s almost over (much to everybody’s sadness), and things are going to be changing around at the Altamont Free Library; starting on Sept. 7, we’ll be open from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

However, we will be closed on Sunday and Monday on Labor Day weekend. (That’s Sunday, Aug. 31, and Monday, Sept. 1). Remember, if you need a crowbar to get in, we’re probably closed.

In the event that you are out of reading material when we are closed, fear not! Your library card gets you access to over 18,000 downloadable ebooks. So next time it’s two a.m. and you are desperate for a good read, go to altamontfreelibrary.org and follow the link for downloadable ebooks. Need help? Schedule an appointment for one-on-one help with your Kindle, Nook, iPad or thingamabob. 

Book club

Our next book club meeting will be on Sept. 8, at 1 p.m., and will be The Good Lord Bird by James McBride. Copies of the book are available for borrowing in the library. The meeting after that will be Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter, on Sept. 15, at 7 p.m.

Murdoch on Main Street

The library is now receiving The Wall Street Journal on a daily basis. Stop by and catch up. Thanks to Mike Seinberg for donating the subscription.

Story time

As always, this will be held for all ages every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.; story time is followed by a craft and free playtime.
