Guilderland Library Notes for Thursday, April 19, 2018
On Sunday, April 22, at 2 p.m., there is a very special musical event at the Guilderland Public Library featuring some of the most talented young people in town!
Back by popular demand: the extraordinary Guilderland High School Chamber Choir and Chamber Strings will perform a wide variety of classical to contemporary favorites. Please get here early, because this is always a “sold-out” concert.
Bet you can’t get out of this!
Save Eleven and escape from the upside-down in our Stranger Things escape room! On the weekend of Saturday, April 21, and Sunday, April 22, we have several 45-minute time slots you can choose from to show us what you can do.
Register as an individual, with a friend or two, or with a larger group; these events are intended for teens and adults. Each person in your group must register. Up to six people can play at a time. Please arrive on time for your session.
On Saturday, April 21, spots are still available for 2:15 to 3 p.m. and 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. And on Sunday, April 22, you can choose from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. or 3 to 3:45 p.m.
Spring into Organization
Spring is here and it is time to clear out, clean up, and get organized. Start by coming to the library on Tuesday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. for Spring into Organization, presented by professional organizer Jordana Turcotte.
In this program, sponsored by the Capital District Physicians’ Health Plan, you will learn a simple system of purging and organizing large storage areas such as the basement, garage, and even the great outdoors. Jordana will share tips on how to let go of unneeded items and clear your clutter — a good step for both your mental and physical health!
