To celebrate Brain Awareness Week, the Guilderland Public Library is hosting Jennifer LaPorte on March 13 to discuss ways to keep the brain healthy.
To celebrate Brain Awareness Week, Jennifer LaPorte, of Brookdale Senior Living Solutions, will present Brain Fit! Steps and Strategies for Keeping Your Brain Healthy!, at the Library on Tuesday, March 13, at 1:30 p.m.
This lively, informative, and interactive program gives you proven strategies you can use to keep your brain healthy and fit. Refreshments provided. Please register by calling 518-456-2400, ext. 3, or going online to guilderlandlibrary.org.
FLOSS Computer Club
Teens and tweens, if you’re curious about the guts of a computer, then come to the FLOSS Computer Club starting Monday, March 12, at 6:30 p.m. In this four-session class, you’ll take computers apart to learn about what’s inside, and put them back together to get them working.
Then, there’s the coolest part: We FLOSS! (which means downloading some Free/Libre Open Source Software), and learn how that works.
The remaining three classes are all on Mondays at 6:30 p.m.: March 19, 26, and April 2. Space is limited, so please register now by going to guilderlandlibrary.org, and clicking on March 12 on the calendar. Or you can register by calling 518-456-2400 ext. 4. The program is for grades seven through 12; you must attend all four sessions.
Chicks & Salsa
So, how do farmyard animals create a fun fiesta? Join us and WMHT's Barbara Lukas for Chicks & Salsa on Saturday, March 10, at 10:30 a.m., and find out. We’ll watch the Chicks & Salsa movie, create a feathered chicken craft, and you’ll even get your own copy of the book to keep and read.
Make sure you bring an adult caregiver along. Please have your folks sign you up for this fun class by calling 518-456-2400 ext. 4, or going online to guilderlandlibrary.org.
