Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, November 10, 2021
If you’re between the ages of 9 and 12, and you’re reading the Library Notes page of The Altamont Enterprise, boy oh boy, do we have the club for you! More likely, you know someone of that age that loves to read and loves to talk about what they’ve been reading.
Either way, please join our Junior Book Club on Tuesday, Nov.16, at 7 p.m.! This month, we’ll be discussing Cecilia Galante’s wonderful young-adult novel. “Strays Like Us.” There’s still time to pick up a copy here at the library, but even if you don’t have time to finish it (we know you’re busy), we’d still love to see you and have you help us pick our next book!
Since we’ll be meeting indoors, all attendees are asked to wear a mask and practice social distancing throughout the discussion. We can’t wait to see you there!
Library Lights
Feel that nip in the air? That’s a pretty good sign that the holidays are creeping up on us.
We’re about five weeks away from the Altamont Celebration of Lights, so it’s time to start thinking about lighting up the Orsini Park gazebo. This holiday season, honor the memory of a friend, loved one, or pet with a light on the Altamont Village Gazebo in Orsini Park.
The lights cost $5 each and all proceeds benefit the Altamont Free Library. The honorees’ names will be read during the annual lighting ceremony on Friday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m., and be published on the library’s website.
Forms are available at the library and in this edition of The Altamont Enterprise. Please join us at the gazebo on Friday, Dec. 11, for what is always a lovely and moving (and currently socially-distant) ceremony.
Story time
Since June, we’ve been doing our weekly Tuesday morning story times for children outside in Orsini Park or our back patio, and it’s been a ton of fun! Now that the weather is getting colder, we’re moving story times a few blocks away and indoors.
Please join us in the Community Room at Altamont Reformed Church at 129 Lincoln Ave. in Altamont every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. for a super-fun morning of songs, stories, and activities! We’re moving to ARC so that our story-time families have lots of room to stretch out and distance themselves from one another.
Since this is an indoor program, all participants over the age of 2 must wear masks for the duration of the program. Please enter through the back, and head right upstairs to the Community Room. Many thanks to Altamont Reformed Church for hosting us this fall and winter. We hope to see you there!
