Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, January 12, 2022
If it’s been a while since you browsed at your local library, you may be surprised by all of the changes. We’re not just about books anymore.
Did you know that we have a Library of Things? What is that you ask?
It’s a little bit of everything. It’s kitchen supplies that you can “try before you buy.” It’s a telescope, or a sewing machine, or a portable cd player.
Would you like to try using a go-pro? How about hosting an outdoor movie? We have the projector, and portable screen.
We also have games galore, both outdoor and board games. These are just a sample of the variety of things that can be borrowed from the library. Check it out on our website, or drop in and browse the collection.
World Needs Challenge
The teens care group will take part in the 2022 Students Rebuild: World Needs Challenge at 1 p.m., Jan. 28. Students will become “artivists”, using color, images, and words, to design posters to amplify the messages they care about. For each piece of artwork shared with Students Rebuild, the Bezos Family Foundation will make a $5 donation to support projects that carry a global impact. Come to the library or join us on Zoom to learn about the five world needs in the challenge and find your focus issue.
Grab-and-go
for adults
If you can’t make it to the Craft & Chat program, don’t worry, we have you covered. Register online to pick up a craft kit that you can do at home. These are easy projects that only require some creativity to bring them to life. Pick up the kit after 10 a.m., Monday, Jan. 24.
Museum passes
Mid-winter school break is just around the corner. If you are looking for something fun to do with the family, but you don’t want to spend a small fortune, you should check out our museum pass collection. We have over 20 different passes for local galleries and museums.
These passes will allow either free admission, or admission at a greatly reduced price. Check out our selection online, or stop in and see what is available. Museum passes are a first come, first served collection, and can not be reserved online or over the phone.
Winter bingo
From Jan. 1 through 31, you can play library bingo to win some fabulous prizes. Receive a bookmark, pin or magnet for the first 2 rows completed. Complete the entire card to pick a prize from the prize box. You can pick up a bingo card at the library, or print one from our website.
Holiday hours
The library will close at 5 p.m., Jan. 17, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
If the Voorheesville School District delays school by two hours, or closes for the day due to inclement weather, storytime will be canceled. For all other programming, please call ahead to confirm the library will be open.
Curbside pickup is available during all open library hours.
Masks are required of all visitors over the age of two, regardless of vaccination status.
