Many of you may remember that for many years we used to hold an annual I Love My Library Gala to raise money for the library every February. For many of us who attended the last one in February 2020, it was the last big indoor gathering we attended before the onset of the pandemic made that kind of a gathering almost unimaginable.

Well, I’m happy to say that it’s time to bring the gala back! It will be happening in the late spring instead of in February this year, but only if we have your help!

We need a few people who love the library and who are great at event planning (or at least are willing to give it a shot) to lend us a hand and join our Gala Committee. Could that be you? If so, please get in touch with me at . With your help, we can make it happen!

Story time is back

Speaking of things we haven’t done in a while, a few weeks ago, we held our first story time at the Altamont Free Library since March 2020 and it was so wonderful to have it back. Story time is our weekly children’s program where we read stories, sing songs, engage in fun activities, and make crafts.

Storytime is important for so many reasons: encouraging early literacy and social skills, giving parents and caregivers of young folks a social circle to catch up with, introducing the library to young kids, and lots more reasons beyond that.

Please join Miss Ann for our super-fun weekly set of stories, activities, songs, and crafts in the library’s Community Room every Tuesday at 11 a.m. After story time, feel free to hang out and play and browse the stacks for your new favorite book. It’s a win-win-win!

Stuffies and Stories

Now that we’ve restarted story times here at the library (every Tuesday at 11 a.m.!), it’s time to bring back another old favorite program: Juice and Jammies Story Time!

Actually, it’s not exactly Juice and Jammies. We’re forgoing the snack, so there won’t be any juice. But you can still wear your jammies! In fact, we’d love for you to get comfy and bring a stuffed friend with you who might enjoy a story and an easy craft before bed, so we’re going to call it Stuffies and Stories!

What’s Stuffies and Stories you ask? It’s a super fun monthly pre-bedtime children’s story time. Please join Miss Erika for a few stories, a fun craft, and a little bit of library play time on Saturday, Feb. 11, at 6:30 p.m. This low-key story time will be just the thing to prepare your young folks to count some sheep. Make sure to sign up in advance by calling us at 518-861-7239 or emailing us at staff@altamontfreelibrary.org.

To review: Stuffies and Stories: Less Juice, more Jammies, same amount of pre-bedtime fun!

Story Time

It’s almost time for another fantastic outdoor children’s storytime with Thacher Park Nature Center Educator Shannon Duerr! Please join us in the Orsini Park gazebo on Wednesday, Jan. 25, at 11 a.m. This month, we’ll be learning all about the tracks that different types of animals make.

We’ll read a story, do some fun and educational activities, make some tracks of our own, and have a great time! So bundle up and meet us outside for this always fun program!

First Monday

Book Club

Do you love to read? Do you love talking about what you’ve read with other interesting and smart people? If so, please join us for the next virtual meeting of the First Monday Book Club on Monday, Feb. 6, at noon.

If you would like to join us for our next meeting, please call us at 518-861-7239 or email us at and we’ll make sure that you get all the details. Over the next two months, we’ll be talking about Kate Atkinson’s beloved novel “Life After Life.” We’ll discuss the first half of the book at this meeting and the second half in March. There will be plenty to discuss, so call today to reserve your copy and join us!

Ukulele Group

Do you uke? If you do, even if you’re not very good yet, please join our monthly ukulele meetup. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 6 p.m., and we’d love for you to join us.

It’s too cold to meet in the Orsini Park gazebo, so we’ll be meeting inside the library this time. Bring a song or two to share with the group if you like. This is a fun, inviting way of growing as a player, picking up hints and tips, learning new tunes, and meeting fellow ukesters. We hope to see uke there!

 

Over the past three years that we’ve struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had to make a lot of hard decisions about how we could offer our patrons the most access to the library and do the best programs that we could while keeping library users and staff members as safe as possible.

We’ve done things like offer grab-and-go checkout, book clubs on Zoom instead of in person, home delivery for folks who couldn’t safely get to the library, and lots more besides.

One of the most difficult things we’ve had to grapple with is how to keep doing story time, our Tuesday morning children’s program where we read stories, sing songs, make crafts and generally have a whole lot of fun. Story time is so important for so many reasons: encouraging early literacy and social skills, giving parents and caregivers of young folks a social circle to catch up with, introducing the library to young kids, and lots more reasons beyond that.

Early in the pandemic, in order to keep story time in kid’s lives, we made video story times on YouTube twice a week so that at least children would get to hear new stories told by old friends. As restrictions loosened, we were able to reintroduce the personal element of story time by holding the program out in Orsini Park during nice weather.

Last year, when the weather turned colder, we reached out to our friends at the Altamont Reformed Church to ask whether we could use their big community room, where kids and caregivers could space themselves out more than they could here at the library. Altamont Reformed Church has kindly and generously allowed us to use their space during cold months since then, and we are so grateful to them for letting us use their lovely space.

The time has come, though, to bring story time back where it belongs: the library! Starting on Jan. 10, please join Miss Ann for our super-fun weekly set of stories, activities, songs, and crafts in the library’s Community Room at 11a.m.

Not only will your young friends get out of the house, gain a few early literacy skills and have a great time doing it, but they’ll meet other kiddos, and you’ll have a chance to catch up with a few people your own age! After story time, feel free to hang out and play and browse the stacks for your new favorite book. It’s a win-win-win!

We’re so happy to have story time back at the library, but we’ll be even more happy to have you back in the library, so please join us!

Annual meeting

The Altamont Free Library Board of Trustees will hold its annual organizational meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 16, which will be immediately followed by our regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.

 

One of the less appreciated aspects of running a library is the role of the board of trustees. The volunteers that make up our board are dedicated volunteers who expend a tremendous amount of time, energy, and creativity to help administer the library and to assist in day-to-day operations.

You may not see them at work all the time, but rest assured that they play an absolutely essential role in all that we do. We literally could not do it without them.

At the beginning of every year, we always welcome one or two new trustees to the board, which means that we have to say goodbye to one or two trustees who have served out their terms of office. This year, I’m sad to say, we’re losing two of the best trustees that I’ve ever worked with.

Rachel Lane has been the board’s secretary for four-and-a-half years, and in all that time we’ve had to make approximately three corrections to her meeting minutes. She has been an eminently reliable, good-humored, supportive, and creative presence on the board for six years, and she will be much missed at board meetings.

Melanie Shatynski will also be tremendously missed. Melanie has filled a variety of roles on the board, from serving on our Sustainability Committee, to serving as assistant treasurer from 2017 until 2020, and as treasurer since then. She has taken on any task that we have asked of her, and has managed our complicated finances with grace, savvy, and good cheer since then.

Both Rachel and Melanie are term-limited by the board’s bylaws; otherwise we wouldn’t let them go for anything. The board and I are inordinately grateful to both Rachel and Melanie for their years of service, and if you love the library, then you should be too.

Of some comfort to us is the fact that we will be joined in the new year by a new trustee who I cannot wait to get to work with. Jeff Perlee is well known to most Altamont and Hilltown residents as our Albany County Legislator and to many Altamont Library patrons as the founder of the Every House Project, which we launched earlier this year, and which seeks to document the history of the built environment in Altamont and the surrounding communities.

Jeff has a wealth of expertise on a staggering array of topics, and we can’t wait to apply his extraordinary faculties to library governance. Welcome, Jeff!

If you are interested in joining our hardworking board, please get in touch with me by email at . The Altamont Free Library Board of Trustees will hold its annual organizational meeting at 6:30 on Monday, Jan. 16, which will be immediately followed by our regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.

First Monday

Book Club

Do you love to read? Do you love talking about what you’ve read with other interesting and smart people?

If so, please join us for the next meeting of the First Monday Book Club on Monday, Jan. 9, at noon.  (Yes, I know it’s not the actual first Monday of the month, but we were closed on Monday, Jan. 2, in observance of New Year’s Day.)

If you would like to join us for our next meeting, please call us at 518-861-7239 or email us at and we’ll make sure that you get all the details. At that meeting, we’ll be discussing the heartwarming novel “The Story of Arthur Truluv” by Elizabeth Berg. There will be plenty to discuss, so call today to reserve your copy and join us!

Frosty the Postman, on display at the Altamont Free Library, is signed with messages of thanks and appreciation for the hardworking Altamont postal workers who sort and deliver packages and holiday cards. Frosty was delivered to the post office on Dec. 23. The effort was organized by Kristin Casey.

Last week, one of our patrons had a great idea: What if she bought a big cardboard snowman and people could come into the library to sign it as a way of thanking the incredibly hardworking Altamont Post Office employees who sort and deliver all of the holiday cards and packages that make our holidays so much more cheery and bright and who have been working very long hours to make sure that everything gets where it needs to go?

Dozens of people came in to sign the snowman (we called him Frosty the Postman!) and we delivered it to the Post Office last Friday. Many thanks to Kristin Casey for organizing the effort and to everyone who came in to show their appreciation!

That got me thinking about all of the other folks whose hard work makes our community work on a daily basis. (Carmen and the entire Stewart’s staff come immediately to mind; our police and fire departments; and Jeff, Larry, and the Village Department of Public Works staff.)

I hope that for many of you, the library staff fits into that category. They definitely do for me. I’d like to whole-heartedly thank Brad Towle, Ann Gainer, Claudia LeClair, and Erika Peterson for all they do to make our patrons feel welcome and valued every day. Thank you all!

Please note that Altamont Free Library will be closed on Monday, Jan. 2, in observance of New Year’s Day. From everyone here at the library, we wish you a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year!

We’re still glowing from the joy of last weekend’s wonderful Altamont WinterFest, organized by our friends at Altamont Community Tradition! If you were able to join us, you know what a heart-warmingly magical event it was.

From seeing Santa leading the annual pet parade through the village, to the beautiful Christmas trees and wreaths decorated by community members at the Masonic Hall, to helping hundreds of children make holiday ornaments here at the library, it really was one of those events that really make a place a community.

Best of all, the snow throughout the afternoon made the entire village look even more radiant than it usually does. Thanks again to all of the ACT volunteers who made it happen!

From everyone here at Altamont Free Library, we wish you all Happy Holidays and a safe, healthy and Happy New Year! 

Amazon Smile

Here’s a great, easy, cost-free way to support the library: If you do some of your holiday shopping on Amazon, please consider going to Smile.Amazon.com (instead of just regular old Amazon.com). Everything on the website will be exactly the same as usual, but you’ll have the opportunity to choose Altamont Free Library as your charity of choice and a portion of your purchase will go to support the Altamont Free Library, even though your gifts won’t cost you a penny more than they normally would! (You can do that all year round, if you like, but we just thought we’d mention it now.)

Almost 500 honorees — some of them, like Keen Hilton and Dick Howie, with multiple sponsors — had their names read during the Library Lights ceremony in Orsini Park hosted by the Altamont Free Library. Then the lights on the gazebo and community tree were lit.

Last weekend, the Altamont Free Library celebrated our 23nd annual Library Lights gazebo lighting ceremony in Orsini Park. The purpose of Library Lights is to take some time at the beginning of the holiday season to remember friends, family members, and other loved ones and to honor their memory with a light on the Orsini Park gazebo.

This year, we had a record number of honorees — almost 500 — whose names were read aloud at the ceremony. Thank you to all of our friends who contributed, and to those of you who joined us in Orsini Park last Friday.

A full list of this year’s honorees may be found on our website at AltamontFreeLibrary.org and will appear in next week’s edition of The Altamont Enterprise.

I’d especially like to thank Mayor Kerry Dineen, Jeff Moller, Larry Adams, and the team at the Village Department of Public Works for all of their invaluable help in making a space in the park for setting up the lights, as well as to Dan Capuano, Christine Carpenter, and Deborah Katz for helping with the reading of names. Thank you all!

Last weekend we also celebrated Altamont WinterFest, sponsored by our friends at Altamont Community Tradition. Thank you to all of the ACT volunteers who dedicate so much of their time, energy, and creativity to putting on this event.

If you love the sense of community that is so unique to this village, it is in no small part the ACT volunteers who you have to thank for putting on events like WinterFest, the annual Strawberry Social, and the springtime Green and Clean, which contribute so much to that atmosphere of neighborliness and fellow-feeling. Thank you all for all your hard work!

A child carefully adds royal icing to the roof of a gingerbread house as part of Altamont’s holiday celebration in earlier years. This year, in an Altamont Free Library event, kids will decorate gingerbread houses on Saturday, Dec. 10, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. 

With Thanksgiving now behind us, the holidays are coming up fast! I can’t think of a better way to get into the spirit than by decorating a tree.

And this year, we’ll have a doozy of a community holiday tree in Orsini Park! Pick up a blank ornament from the library, bring it home and decorate in your and your family’s own unique style, and hang it on the big community holiday tree out in the Orsini Park Gazebo.

Thanks to Leanne Royer for coordinating the ornaments, and to Altamont Community Tradition for sponsoring this fun holiday activity!

Library Lights

We’re just a few days away from lighting up the Orsini Park Gazebo! This holiday season, honor the memory of a friend, loved one, or pet with a light on the Altamont Village Gazebo in Orsini Park.

The lights cost $5 each and all proceeds benefit the Altamont Free Library. The honorees’ names will be read during the annual lighting ceremony on Friday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m., and be published on the library’s website. Forms are available at the library and in this week’s edition of The Altamont Enterprise.

Please join us at the gazebo at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9, for what is always a lovely and moving ceremony.

Decorate

a gingerbread house

It's almost time for one of our favorite annual traditions: Decorating gingerbread houses! Please bring your young folks and join us on Saturday, Dec. 10, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. to make your very own gingerbread house to display at the Altamont WinterFest Celebration the next day.

There are only a few spots left, so sign up at the library, email me at , or call us at 518-861-7239 to register in advance. Space is limited at this always fun event, so sign up today!

Altamont Winterfest!

Are you as excited for Altamont’s WinterFest as we are? Starting at noon on Sunday, December 10th, there will be tons to do around the village, from the Festival of Christmas Trees, wreath auction, and hot cider and doughnuts in the Masonic Hall to food trucks, free horse-drawn carriage rides and visits with Santa in Orsini Park and much more besides!

Here at the library, we will be open from noon to 3 p.m. for folks to warm up and partake of our local Girl Scout troop’s bake sale and reindeer food craft. While you’re here, check out the fantastic gingerbread houses on display.

It’s always a wonderful and festive event, and we’re so grateful to Altamont Community Tradition for keeping this annual tradition alive and doing so much work to organize the festivities!

 

Last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and I hope that you all had a safe, healthy, and happy one.

But earlier in the week, we celebrated another milestone: The AFL Board of Trustees got together to begin wading through the hundreds and hundreds of comments we’ve received from our community in surveys, interviews, and focus groups over the past year.

All of those comments were collected so that we would have a good idea of what our users and potential users think that we’re doing well, what we could be doing better, and how we can better serve the public in the years to come. Over the next few months, we’ll be taking those ideas and turning them into our new Long Range Plan of Service.

As we read through the comments and ideas that we received, there was one word that kept coming up again and again: Community — gratitude for the library community; ideas for how to increase our sense of community; requests for us to get out into the community more.

People want that sense of community as an antidote to the isolating conditions of modern life and to find stability in an ever-changing world.

We’ll do our best at the things we can do as a library, but I would kindly suggest that there are other ways to build a sense of community in our own lives: Go to church. Join the PTA. Start a bowling team. Read on the porch and say hi to your neighbors as they pass. Go to an ACT meeting, or a Grange meeting, or a town or village board meeting when you’re not upset about something. Check in on a friend or neighbor you haven’t seen in a while.

There are so many ways of building relationships with the people all around you, that you can’t go wrong no matter how you choose to do it. Here are a few more:
