Be the star of your own vacation-themed Bethlehem library card at the Wish You Were Here custom-printed library card program held July 16 and 17.
It’s tee time!
Bethlehem Public Library will transform into an 18-hole miniature golf course on Sunday, July 14, from 1 to 5 p.m., and you can step up your mini-golf game and impress your friends by designing your very own hole-in-one! This opportunity is free and open to all, but sign up soon — only 18 spots are available: https://bit.ly/2Jis4wF.
Mini-golf is free and open to all ages — pros and duffers alike — and there’s no need to register to play! Regular library services will be limited, but if you spot a book or movie you just have to have while putting your way through the stacks, we’ll be on hand to check it out for you. Mini-golf is sponsored by the Friends of Bethlehem Public Library.
Library cards starring you
There’s so much about the library that makes it a destination in itself, and that’s why our latest custom-printed library card program is highlighting all of the things about Bethlehem Public Library that keep you coming back for more! Our Wish You Were Here custom library cards will feature you enjoying your favorite part of the library with a fun, vacation-themed border.
Sign up for an evening session on Tuesday, July 16, or a morning session on July 17. Let us know what you like to do or borrow at the library, and we’ll take a picture for your library card, which will be printed and ready on the spot.
Do you like relaxing in the periodical room? Maybe playing a game in the Children’s Place? Or is browsing the travel section your thing? Perhaps you enjoy the library gardens on a sunny day. Your photo will capture whatever it is about the library that you love the most – starring you! Your “Wish You Were Here” image could also be part of our upcoming parking lot banner series.
Programs take place Tuesday, July 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. and Wednesday, July 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. Sign up online at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org or call 518 -439-9314. If you don’t already have a card, bring in a photo ID and proof of residence within the Bethlehem Central School District. (Non-BCSD residents can still receive printed cards; they just can’t be used as library cards.)
Over the moon
Calling all elementary engineers! Drop by the library Wednesday, July 17, at 2 p.m. to design a moon lander using cardboard, paper, index cards, bubble wrap, toothpicks, tape, straws and rubber bands that will keep astronauts safe as they touch down. For ages 6 to 10.
Evenings on the Green
Our Evenings on the Green concert series continues at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17, with Electric City Chorus, an a cappella group that performs in the traditional Barbershop Quartet style.
Concerts are always free, appropriate for all ages, and they take place every Wednesday through Aug. 7. Pick up a flyer or visit our website at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org for times and details. Concerts will move indoors if it rains.
