Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, March 15, 2023
Last week, we asked local artists to let us mount an exhibit of their art, and we got some great responses! We’d still love to hear from a few more artists and collectors, though.
Throughout the spring and summer, for a very exciting reason that we’ll be announcing next week, we’re expecting to see a notable uptick in visitors here at the library. Since we’re going to have so many new friends coming through the library, we’d love to fancy the place up a little bit and show off some of our local artistic talent!
If you’re an artist and you’d like to display your artwork here at the library, please get in touch with me by email at or by calling 518-861-7239 to discuss scheduling a showing. We’ll take good care of your treasures, we promise.
Our art display system allows us to professionally and securely display art and we’d love to display yours. Likewise, if you’ve got a cool collection you’d like to show off, please consider letting us show it in our display case.
Stories & Stuffies
Stories & Stuffies is back! On Saturday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m., put on your pj’s, grab your favorite stuffed animal, and join Ms. Erika for a pre-bedtime story and craft! 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 emailing us at , or by calling us at 518-861-7239.
Nature Story Time
Please join us on Wednesday, March 29, at 11 a.m. for another wonderful outdoor nature story time with Thacher Park Nature Center educator Shannon Duerr. This month, we’re going to be talking all about burrowers, the animals who make their homes in holes in the ground like moles, and voles, and prairie dogs.
We’ll read some stories, do some activities, and have a great time outside! We’ll meet in the Orsini Park gazebo and be outdoors for about 45 minutes. In case of muddiness, you might want to wear your galoshes.
Save the date!
Do you miss the annual I Love My Library gala that we used to have every February? Well so do we, so we’re bringing it back!
It won’t be in February though. This year it will be Saturday, May 20. There will be lots more details available soon, including an awesome new location, but for now just keep that date open, find a babysitter, and pick out something fancy to wear!
