Berne Library Notes for Thursday, May 31, 2018
June is here with the promise of summer’s abundant happenings. While graduations commence and vacations are thought about, another week of events unfolds at the Berne Public Library. Book reading, storytelling, Friends meetings, Teen/Tween hang out and Repair dares. What’s your pleasure? How about starting a gardening club or a meditation group? The library has a meeting room just for you and your expansive imagination.
Book club
Key to the Sunday Night Book Club is the group’s love of reading. This month’s meeting opens June 3rd at 7 p.m. in the community room. Discussing “The Story of Arthur Truluv” by Elizabeth Berg is the target. All adults are welcome.
Story time
Bug on! Bug off? That’s a firefly on your head! Story time is bugging out all over with this week’s edition at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 5. Kathy Stempel swoops in for a landing as aged 5 and under attendees and their caregivers assume story listening pose. Bug stories, bug crafts and famous bug stars. You’ve all heard of Jiminy Cricket, right? This could be the start of a young mind deciding to be an entomologist when they grow up because of “Bug Story Time” at the Berne Public Library.
Friends meet
A Friends of the Berne Library meeting wings in on June 6 at 7 p.m. With the summer reading program about to take flight and Music in the Park tuning up summer hits, there’s lots to discuss. Drop in to hear the buzz. This dedicated group of library supporters welcomes new members, new ideas, and new pudding recipes.
Teens and Tweens
It’s another Teen/Tween challenge night June 8 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Reeling in last months challenge, team leader ‘code fun’ is signaling safe landing for all 11 to 18-year-olds. A night to have the library to yourselves as impromptu quandries pop up, trivia teams take sides and/or movie scenes come to life.
Repairing
Round two of “Dare to Repair” takes on biking and camping equipment between 10 a.m. and noon on June 9. Deciding to repair rather than throw out lessens the landfill pile up. This program is free and looking for qualified languishing equipment that wants to be of use again. Contact the library with details of your desired repair by e-mailing director@bernepubliclibrary.org or calling 518-872-1246.
