Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, November 19, 2014

The winter cold has finally set in, just in time for Thanksgiving. Frigid winds are coming over the river and through the woods and down from the mountain and into the village and apparently into my cell phone, judging from how often it’s been freezing up lately. However, down in the considerably-warmer Altamont Free Library…

The library has an exciting addition.  We are now the proud owner’s of 39 audio CDs which contain the spoken words of Rev. James Keenholts (“Keen” to the entire community) Hilton.  O Jesus I Have Promised – The Keen Hilton Legacy is a collection of sermons dating from 1981-1990, including 3 Christmas Eve services.

Open mic night

Open Mic Night that was originally scheduled for Nov. 29, has been rescheduled for Dec. 12, at 7 p.m.

The Dojo

On Nov. 21, as on every Friday, the Dojo will be meeting at 6 p.m. This will be a club for Anime, video game, and Magic: TG fans alike. Feel free to kick back as we set up multiplayer Nintendo games (Generally SSBB, Mario Party, or Nintendo Land), and the occasional anime. This is aimed at ages 16 and up.

Around-The-World Potluck

On Monday, Nov. 24, at 6 p.m., we’ll be trying out Thai cuisine. Balance and attention to detail are apparently of tantamount importance in most Thai dishes, so plan to go ahead and eat a sliding scale before you show up.

Kids’ Thanksgiving craft

On Wednesday, Nov. 26, at 1 p.m., have your kids make something creative for the Thanksgiving table. No, we’re not telling you what it is just yet, so please leaf us alone.

Library Lights

On Sunday, Dec. 7, at 4:30 p.m., we will have a gazebo lighting ceremony in memory of loved ones. Please make your donations to the library by Saturday, Dec. 6.

Story time

As always, story time will be held on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m., for preschoolers and on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m., for toddlers. Join us all for stories, songs, rhymes, and movement.
