Altamont Library Notes for Saturday, April 8, 2017

It’s April! Baseball and the birds are returning and the days are getting longer and warmer. That must mean that it’s time to start gearing up for the annual village-wide garage sale.

On Saturday, May 7, the Altamont Free Library will hold our annual book sale in conjunction with the village-wide garage sale sponsored by the Altamont Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association.

From noon on Wednesday, May 3, until Friday, May 5, we will be very grateful to accept book, CD, and DVD donations, which will either be added to the library’s collection or sold to raise money for library programs and we will be happy to make up a receipt for you for tax purposes if you like. (Sorry, but we will not be running a garage sale this year, so household goods will not be accepted.)

Please don’t forget to visit us during the sale to find your next favorite book!

SongTeller sessions

Please join us for our next concert in our ongoing series of SongTeller Sessions this coming Friday, April 7, at 7 p.m. Our performer this time around will be Michael Eck.

Michael has been a mainstay of the Capital District music scene for over two decades and wears many hats: performer, producer, critic, organizer and radio host, just to name a few. His musical interests and compositions run the gamut from folk and punk to blues and old time jug band music. Notable among his recent efforts have been as a member of the Lost Radio Rounders and the Ramblin Jug Stompers and as host of WAMC's American Roots series.

Coffee and snacks will be available and all ages are welcome.

Juice and Jammies

On Thursday, April 13 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.
