Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, September 11, 2019
September’s final countdown for the Berne Public Library’s Incredible Heldercon has been activated with less than 11 days to go. This year’s third Heldercon is set for its big kick-off on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Berne Town Park on Helderberg Trail.
Several basket raffles currently on display at the Berne Public Library are part of the adventure. Containers are filled with all manner of superheroes, minions, comics, and cartooning. Tickets are available for just $1 each. See the front-desk characters to grab your chances at winning a prize.
Storytime
With the hero theme bubbling to the surface, everyone is a hero at the next edition of storytime. Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 10:30 a.m. bring your 5 and under charges in for stories of heroes at home, in the town where you live and around the spaces you travel.
Being a hero means more than saving the world like in the movies.
A hero spreads good will through the community, and at home, with kindness, respect, understanding, courtesy. Helping your family, helping neighbors, volunteering to help friends.
Join the spirit of heroes at Tuesday’s story time and beyond. Spreading joy through appreciation and consideration for others while joining the group of spirited listeners, movers and adventurers of storytime.
Lyme Disease Prevention
When you’re looking to experience the outdoor scene in off road adventures, into the forests and around the many walking trails in the Helderbergs, be ever aware of those teentsy clinging ticks. So small, yet menacing. What approach do you take if a tick hops on for a ride and a meal? What should you do if you discover a tick bite?
Learn what you can do to diminish your chances for lyme disease. Get the tick off and mark your calendar for the Lyme Disease Prevention special event on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Berne Public Library. This program is sponsored by New York Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara’s office. Attendance sign up sheets are at the front desk or you can call the library at 518-872-1246 to reserve your spot.
