Berne Library Notes for Thursday, March 29, 2018

Artwork by Berne-Knox-Westerlo students is on display at the Berne Public Library.
Just a few more days and you can turn the page. The calendar page, that is. It’s time to get out the day planner and fill it up with April fun at the Library. Here’s a poem by Sandra Leigh that tells what’s in store:
Snow, snow go away
We’ve got a lot to do
Like glazing bowls
And making crafts,
Constructing paper planes.
We have stories to read,
Stories to hear
And soup to be enjoyed.
All this and more at
Berne’s Public Library.
Story time
During a meeting 10:30 a.m. in the community room on April 3, Kathy will be rolling out some “April Fun.” She’ll pull another feat of magical story time out of her hat for kids 5 and under — adventurers along with their caregivers. Wear your fun T-shirts as you wiggle and waggle through the library.
STEM program
From 2 to 3 p.m., on April 4 interested 6 to 12-year-olds are encouraged to check out the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program, “What’s in the Air?” You only have to glimpse a sunbeam on a counter for a view of dust particles. Smells from baking or smells from newly-mown grass can float near you — in the air.
Join in as paper planes are folded into shape and tested against one another for distance prowess. Close your eyes and think of other fun or unusual matter wavering about your airspace.
Thanks
Friends of the Berne Library sent out a friendly call for book donations. Their call was answered as boxes filled books arrived fast and furious for their book sale fundraiser last weekend.
They sorted and sold and packed and piled with volunteers a many. Helping as a member or volunteer is decidedly appreciated. For questions about joining or to request notices about Friends activities, e-mail bernelibraryfriends@yahoo.com.
Friends meet
The all are welcome Friends monthly meeting will take place 7 p.m. this April 4 as they discuss “April Fun” fundraisers. This includes the carving, then glazing and finally supping at the “Bowls for Books” event April 14.
Glazing workshop
After carving the bowls this past week, a glazing workshop fires up April 9 with 2 one-hour workshops starting at 5 p.m. Please register and indicate which session works for you.
