In celebration of Earth Day, Altamont library patrons, 14 in all, make wildflower seed balls.
Mother’s Day is quickly approaching (May 8!) and, if you don’t yet have a card for the special moms in your life, we’ve got you covered. Please join us anytime from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, to make a unique, hand-crafted card. We’ll have all the supplies you’ll need to make a beautiful and special gift, so please join us.
Book and Garage Sale
On Saturday, May 7, Altamont Free Library will hold our annual book sale in conjunction with the PTA’s village-wide garage sale. In addition, this year, we will hold a garage sale to raise funds for the library.
From noon on Wednesday, May 4, until the day of the sale, we will be very grateful to accept your books which will either be added to the library’s collection or sold to raise money for library programs.
We will begin accepting donations of garage sale items in good condition (no clothes, please!) on Thursday, May 5. We will be happy to make up a receipt for you for tax purposes if you like. Please don’t forget to visit us during the sale to find your next favorite book.
Memorial Day parade banner
The library will be proudly marching in the Altamont Memorial Day Parade on May 22, and we need a hand in making a banner for the parade. In fact, we need 100 hands! To celebrate our 100th anniversary, we’ll be making a banner with 100 hand prints, so please stop by the library during the book sale on Saturday, May 7, to add your mark to our banner. Thanks for lending a hand.
100 for 100
On the topic of our 100th anniversary, there are countless ways to participate in the celebrations. One way that you can participate is by making a contribution to our Centennial Fund. We are looking for 100 donors to donate $100 each to ensure that your library will be able to continue to thrive at the heart of our community for the next 100 years.
Donors to the Centennial Fund will be acknowledged in the library’s display case throughout the year and will be invited to a special party this summer at the Breitenbach Castle. For more information, please give me a call at (518) 861-7239 or email me at .
