Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, July 8, 2021
Please help us imagine the future of Altamont Free Library!
As we transition back to more normal library services and activities, we’d like to know what your experience of Altamont Free Library was during the pandemic. We would also like to learn what services we put in place during this unique time you may want to see us carry forward.
Please take a few minutes to take our five-question survey at https://bit.ly/3iZyhzv or find the link on the homepage of our website at www.altamontfreelibrary.org.
We welcome feedback from our community on how we can serve you better, both during these unusual times and as we transition to more normality. Thank you for taking the time to answer this brief survey. We value your input. Thank you for helping us plan and grow!
Summer Concerts
Last week, we kicked off the 2021 Orsini Park Summer Concert Series! Our concert organizer, Lori McCutcheon, has put together five Tuesdays of great music running through Tuesday, Aug. 3.
All concerts begin at 7 p.m., and are supported in part by the village of Altamont, as well as by donations to Altamont Free Library. Stay tuned for more information about our lineup of awesome musicians in the coming weeks.
Next up, on Tuesday, July 6, at 7 p.m. we’ve got the Ultimates! The Ultimates play fun and highly danceable covers and classics with a rotating cast of vocalists. They’re a real party band!
It was so nice to see you all back in the park after a year away, so break out your blankets and lawn chairs, gather the kids and bring your neighbors, and meet us out at the gazebo!
Summer Reading
Last week, we also kicked off our always wildly anticipated children’s Summer Reading Program. This year, our Summer Reading Program is all about animals, and it’s going to be wild!
Come pick up your Summer Reading bingo card at the library and on July 5, start earning chances to win fabulous prizes, by having adventures; being helpful; and especially, by reading, reading, reading!
The next event of our Summer Reading Program will be a fascinating bird walk around the village with local bird expert Dan Capuano on Thursday, July 15, at 11 a.m. Bring a pair of binoculars if you have one, or borrow a pair of Dan’s as we observe and learn all about our fine, feathered neighbors. It’ll be a hoot!
Speaking of wildlife, all summer long, Altamont will be playing host to a stuffed friend named Library Llama, and starting July 5, they’ll be hiding in different businesses all summer long. If you can find them, you can be entered into a raffle for a special prize at the end of the summer. Look for clues on our Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as on posters at the library.
It’s going to be a super-fun summer, so come get your Summer Reading Program brochure and bingo card today!
