The Schoharie Free Library celebrated National Library Week, April 3 to 9, with daily events and showcases at the library.
The events kicked off on Monday, April 4, with Maker Monday: STEM Edition. Families came in to enjoy a few hours and the numerous stations with science, technology, engineering, and math challenges.
Many of the participants enjoyed their first experience with coding using the Code & Go Mouse, while others enjoyed the traditional marshmallow engineering challenge — to build the tallest structure they could using dry spaghetti noodles, string, and masking tape — hosted by our friend, Mary Carrier, the technology and growth specialist from Mohawk Valley Library system.
The STEM stations will be here throughout Spring Break - come check them out!
On Monday evening, the Schoharie Library Writing Club virtually hosted author Jana Laiz to talk about writing, publishing, and her experiences as an award-winning author, in a workshop titled “I’ve Got to Write.” This event was funded in part by Poets & Writers with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and New York State Legislature.
On Tuesday, the Writing Club gathered, both at the library and virtually, to read from their writing to an appreciative audience. Presenters were Chris Keefer, Suzanne Walsh, Connie Spanhake, Rebecca Schmid, Kathryn Prada, and Jennie Mosher.
Samples of books or writing by Writing Club members were on display during the week. Refreshments were enjoyed by all. We ended the event with thank you gifts, presented to Program Director Jennie Mosher and Clerk Kimberly Charboneau in celebration of National Library Workers’ Day.
Thursday was a quiet Teen Thursday, like most weeks, when teens gather to create with the library’s makerspace materials, camping out on the Yogibo bean-bag chairs and singing along with Spotify.
Friday night, the library saw families gather again for game night and kids enjoyed revisiting the STEM stations. Many families went home with a game borrowed from the new game collection and available for loan.
The Schoharie Library events wrapped up on Saturday afternoon when author Jana Laiz visited us from her home in the Berkshires. Jana read from her children’s titles “A Free Woman on God’s Earth,” the true story of Elizabeth “Mumbet” Freeman, the enslaved woman who won her freedom in court, and “Billy Budd in the Breadbox,” the story of Herman Melville and his granddaughter, written from the Herman Melville home where Jana Laiz is the Writer-in-Residence Emeritus.
As the director of the Schoharie Library, I invite the community to come see the changes in the library and visit the library’s website, www.schoharielibrary.com, and Facebook page for upcoming events and programs.
Author Jana Laiz will be at the Schoharie Library on April 9.
Author Jana Laiz will present a children’s program, “How a Special Librarian turned a Writer into a Reader” at the Schoharie Library on Saturday, April 9, at 1 p.m. Jana talks about how, as a child, she loved to write but was reluctant to pick up a book until a librarian at her community library handed her a book that finally got her attention.
“You can’t be a writer without first being a reader,” she says, speaking to how being widely read helps a writer to craft their stories. Laiz, who will be making the journey to our library from the Berkshires, will read from her new book “Billy Budd in the Breadbox,” about Herman Melville and his granddaughter Eleanor. She will share her other titles, both for adults and children, that are part of the library’s collection.
The Schoharie Library’s Writing Club will also host writer Laiz at a special virtual gathering at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 4. Her program “I’ve Got to Write!” will highlight her experiences as a writer and the themes of common good and humanity that have inspired many of her books.
Local writers are welcome to attend this engaging conversation on the writing process and inspire one another! This event is funded in part by Poets & Writers with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. To register, go to https://bit.ly/AuthorJanaLaiz or call the library at 518-295-7127.
