Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, November 10, 2016

The leaves are turning and the air is getting chillier, which must mean that it’s time again for Library Lights! This holiday season, you can honor the memory of a loved one with a holiday light on the Altamont Village Gazebo.

Lights cost $3 each ($3.50 if you’d like a postcard sent to the honoree’s family) and all proceeds go to benefit Altamont Free Library. The honorees names will be read out at the lighting ceremony on Sunday, Dec. 4, and will be published on the library’s website.

Look for the submission form over the next few weeks in The Altamont Enterprise or stop into the library in person to donate. Thank you!

Juice and Jammies

In November, we’ll be trying out a new idea: On Thursday, Nov. 10 and 17 at 7 p.m. put on your pj’s and join Ms. Erika for a pre-bedtime story, snack and craft. This low-key story time will be just the thing to prepare your young folks to count some sheep.

If there’s enough interest, we’ll add this as an ongoing addition to our usual Tuesday and Wednesday morning storytime rotation.

Thanksgiving Kids Craft

Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. On Friday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m., we would be grateful if you and your family would join us for an afternoon of turkey-tastic, pilgrim-rific crafts. Please call the library at 861-7239 to register in advance.

“The Nightingale” book discussion

The Penultimate Monday Book Club will be meeting on Monday Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. to discuss “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah. This acclaimed and bestselling novel concerns a French family forced to share their home with an officer of the invading German army during World War II and the dangers they face.

There’s plenty of time to pick up a copy at the library, so please join us for what will no doubt be a fascinating discussion about one of the years’ most popular books.
