Middleburgh Library Notes for Tuesday, November 17, 2020

The Middleburgh Library will host an online Stay-at-Home Story Time on Nov. 24 at 10:45 a.m. Join Miss Terry for a fun, interactive story time for children up to age 5 and their caregivers.

We will read stories, sing songs, play games, and participate in activities around a weekly theme.  Registration is required. This story time will take place on the Zoom platform. Once you register, you will receive the Zoom join link.  

 Virtual Insight Meditation

On Nov. 24 at 5:15 p.m. join our popular Insight Meditation group meeting virtually!

What do you want most deeply? Seeing your life calmly and clearly helps answer this. Insight Meditation is a simple way to steady your mind, stop wandering in day-dreams, and end the suffering of troubling thoughts. Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving-kindness and patience. We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators', teens to seniors.  Registration is required. Please go to our website to register and receive the Zoom link.

Library closing

On Nov. 26 the library will be closed to celebrate Thanksgiving Day safely.
