Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, January 18, 2018
On Thursday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m., make a team, study up, and BYOB to the Altamont Free Library for our monthly mind-twisting trivia contest! Entrance is $5 and the winners take half the door. Contestants must be 21 and up, please.
Juice & Jammies
It’s been a little while since we’ve done one of these: On Thursday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m., put on your pj’s and join Ms. Erika for a pre-bedtime story, snack and craft!
This low-key storytime will be just the thing to prepare your young folks to count some sheep. This month’s theme will be “winter.”
Dessert for Dinner Potluck
It’s almost time again for another of our ever-popular Eat Around the World Potluck dinners! Come broaden your culinary horizons and share a meal a bunch of friendly people.
This month we’re taking a break from the world and focusing on folks’ favorite dessert recipes, because we could all use a little more sweetness to get us through the winter. Please join us at 6pm on Monday, Jan. 29 to join in the festivities and bring a dish to share.
If you need a few ideas, come grab one of our many cookbooks for some inspiration!
Rusticator Concert
Please join us on Friday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. for our first SongTeller Sessions concert of the year. Our performer this month will be Altamont’s own Rusticator. Rusticator is an acoustic band with an Americana spirit and has been entertaining capital region audiences since 2013.
A wide range of influences inspires a set list that spans from The Beatles to the Grateful Dead along with their own original songs. Rusticator released its second studio album, “Get it While it Lasts,” in August 2017.
If you’ve seen any of their summer concerts Orsini Park, you’ll know that they put on a fantastic show. These concerts are free and all-ages appropriate, so bring your whole crew!
I Love My Library Gala
Save the date! The always anticipated annual I Love My Library! Gala is coming up on Saturday, Feb. 10 at the community room at Altamont Village Hall. This year, tickets are very likely to go even faster than usual, so please rsvp immediately when you receive your invitations.
