Guilderland Library Notes for Monday, June 18, 2018
— Copyright 2004 Nan Wilson. All rights reserved.
Nan Wilson’s “Question Mark Lifecycle” is just one extraordinary artwork on display at the Guilderland Public Library through July.
If you missed the Marijuana Laws listening-session that Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares held at the library on June 13, you have another opportunity to attend and speak out: The next local session is at the Bethlehem Public Library (located at 451 Delaware Avenue in Delmar) on Wednesday, June 20, at 6 p.m.
According to information provided by the district attorney’s office, “District Attorney P. David Soares [is holding a] series of public meetings will be held this summer to discuss marijuana laws with communities in Albany County. These meetings will give residents of Albany County an opportunity to ask questions and discuss public safety concerns about marijuana legalization and the future of marijuana laws and prosecution. In addition to the public meetings, Albany County residents are also invited to take an online survey to share opinions on the topic.
“Residents of Albany County that are unable to attend the scheduled meetings can still share opinions about marijuana laws by filling out our online survey. The survey can be found on our website www.albanycountyda.com by clicking on the green logo seal.”
