Guilderland Library Notes for Thursday, January 18, 2018
The Snow Sisters will perform a very special storytime at the Guilderland Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 21.
Come to the Guilderland Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 2 p.m., for “In the Beginning: Guilderland’s First Hundred Years,” and learn about your geographic ancestors, the brave and hearty settlers who trekked into the primeval wilderness where their courage, faith, hard work, and fortitude transformed the countryside into the town called Guilderland.
Within a century, the land had been changed from wilderness to communities with farms, churches, roads, industry, and government. The early settlers’ lives were touched by outside events far from home: The Revolution, Washington’s administration, and the War of 1812. Indeed, the story of Guilderland's first century is an exciting tale.
This class is presented by Mary Ellen Johnson of the Guilderland Historical Society. Be sure to spend some time in the library’s lobby to see the display of contemporary photos, illustrations, and maps showing the early history of our town.
Snow Sisters Story Time
Youngsters, bring your folks to GPL on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 4 p.m., for an hour-long Snow Sister Story Time with the Ice Queen and her little sis! Not only will you get to hear a great story, and sing a bit, but you’ll also be able to take photos with these delightful ladies, and get their autographs!
This is open to the public and completely free. The Snow Sisters say, “We can't wait to meet everyone!”
Your Career Plan
Similar to a business plan, a career plan — at any age! — will clarify the talents, education, and resources you need to stay workforce relevant.
The steps for developing a successful career plan is the focus of Capital District Physicians Health Plan’s “Designing Your Career Plan” being held at GPL on Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m.
You will leave this class with an outline of your own career-development plan. The class is led by Robert Frederick, a professional development coach with a master of arts degree in social sciences with research focused on human development. Please register by calling (518) 456-2400, ext. 3.
