Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, June 8, 2022
The Altamont Free Library is planning for the future and we need your help!
Every three years, the trustees of the Altamont Free Library create a new Long Range Plan of Service, and this year is one of those years. Over the course of the next few months, we will ask our community to give us feedback in a variety of ways.
We might pop in at your seniors’ luncheon, or set up a table at your baseball game, or ask you a few questions while you’re at one of our summer concerts. The way we get most of our information though is through an online survey.
In order to better serve you and our community, please take our short 5 to 7-minute survey to let us know whether you use the library, how you use it, and what we can do better for you in the future. You can find it at https://tinyurl.com/AFL-Survey or through a link on our Facebook page or our website.\We are so grateful for your time and your ideas!
Story time
in Orsini Park
We’re heading back to the park! Starting on Tuesday, June 7 at 11 a.m. (please note the new time!), gather your young ones and join Miss Ann out for some super fun stories, songs, and activities. In order to keep things safe and socially distant, we’re going to be spreading out on the lawn in our summer home, Orsini Park!
If you’ve never visited us before, Orsini Park shares a parking lot with the library, so it’s easy to find. Please bring a blanket and/or a lawn chair for you and your young people to sit on. In the event of rain, storytime will have to be canceled for the week unfortunately, so be sure to check our Facebook page for updates. We’ll see you in the park!
Get Outside
Story Time
Did you ever see a hummingbird and wonder what makes it hum? Please join us on Wednesday, June 15, at 11:30 a.m. for another wonderful outdoor nature story time with Thacher Park Nature Center educator Shannon Duerr. In our last program, we learned all about pollinators and how they move from flower to flower helping make sure that plants grow.
This time, we’ll be learning about some other friends who also fly from flower to flower: hummingbirds! We’ll read a story all about hummingbirds, have some buzzy fun, and play some hummingbird games! 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.
Every House Project
If you’ve ever wondered about the people who lived in your house before you came along, please join us on Tuesday, June 14, at 7 p.m. for a workshop on how you can learn all about your house and its previous occupants.
Led by county legislator and local historian Jeff Perlee, this workshop will fill you in on all of the free resources that you can use to learn more about the place you call home. To register in advance call us at 518-861-7239 or email me at Director@AltamontFreeLibrary.org.
