Bethlehem Library Notes for Wednesday, November 20, 2019

If you’re an avid crafter, you know that supplies tend to — accumulate. And accumulate. Sometimes it’s for a project where you only needed one small thing but had to purchase in bulk. Other times it’s for a hobby you thought you might be into but weren’t. Now you can save those no-longer-needed supplies from the landfill and give them a new life!

On Monday, Nov. 25, the Bethlehem Public Library is hosting a Craft Supplies Swap, where you can exchange unwanted but still usable items for something different. Starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room, we will be accepting craft supplies that are clean and in good shape in exchange for an admission ticket to the swap session, which begins at 7 p.m. Bags will be provided.

Shuffle it up

Join us Friday, Nov. 22, at 1 p.m. for some Cards and Chitchat. Enjoy a social hour playing cards — either an old favorite, or try a new one. Refreshments will be served. It’s a great way to meet some new friends with a shared interest.

A taste test for teens

Teens in grades 6 to 12 are invited to our “Take a Dip Taste Test” program on Friday, Nov. 22, at 3:30 p.m. This versatile finger-food friendly condiment makes the perfect after-school snack.

We’ll show you how to make a selection of healthy dips, featuring ingredients like Greek yogurt, avocado, and citrus fruits. Then taste them all and see which ones you like the best! Sign up online at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org or call 518-439-9312.

Dungeons and Dragons for teens

Our Dungeons and Dragons gaming group for teens is really picking up steam! The next get-together will be Saturday, Nov. 23, at 2:30 p.m.

Use your imagination and problem-solving skills while meeting and socializing with others who enjoy role-playing games. All experience levels welcome. Playing materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own dice or D&D 5th Edition Character Sheet. This program is for kids in grades 6 to12.

Skip the shopping, see a movie

Kids and families can avoid the Black Friday craziness and instead enjoy a screening of “Toy Story 4” at the library on Friday, Nov. 29, at 10 a.m. Disney’s G-rated movie runs for 100 minutes.

Enjoy the antics of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the gang as they embark on a road trip with Bonnie and a new toy named Forky.

Holiday hours

The library will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 27, and remain closed Thursday, Nov. 28, for the Thanksgiving holiday. The library will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29.
