Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, May 1, 2019

Volunteers are needed!

Altamont Free Library’s annual book sale is coming up this Saturday, May 4, and we need you, (yes, you!) to help us make sure that it’s our most successful sale ever! Between Wednesday, May 1, and Friday, May 3, we will be the grateful recipients of thousands and thousands of used books.

All those books have to be sorted, organized, and carried outside for the sale. On the day of the sale, we need all the friends we can get to help sell those books, keep our tables tidy, and break down at the end of the day.

If you can be of assistance, you will have our undying gratitude (and an early peak at donations!), so get in touch with us at 518-861-7239, by email at , or comment down below.

This would be a great way for younger friends to rack up some community service hours, so if you have some of them, let them know. May the fourth be with you!

As mentioned above, this Saturday, May 4, the library will hold our annual book sale in conjunction with the PTA’s village-wide garage sale. From noon on Wednesday, May 1, until Friday, May 3, 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. (Sorry, but we will not be running a garage sale this year, so household goods will not be accepted. Also, no encyclopedias please and thank you.)

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

Springtime Bird Walk

On Monday, May 6, local bird expert Dan Capuano will once again lead a bird watching expedition along Brandle Road. Please join us at 9 a.m. here at the library for a one-hour walk around the village to see what we can see and learn about our bird neighbors.
