Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, January 19, 2022
Operation Donate: The library will be accepting donations of personal-care items, beginning Feb. 1 and running through the end of the month. All donations will benefit the Sgt. Henry Johnson Veterans House in Albany. A donation box can be found on the library’s display table.
Kids’ book
discussion
Children in second and third grades are invited to join us for a fun-filled evening at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 21, to discuss “Cam Jansen: The Snowy Day Mystery” by David Adler. This mystery seems impossible to solve, but with Cam Jansen on the case, the thieves don’t stand a chance! Please register and pick up a free book, courtesy of the Friends of the Library.
Grab & 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. on Monday, Jan. 24.
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 two 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.
Story times
Children ages 2 to 5, with a caregiver, will enjoy an interactive, theme-based storytime at 10 a.m. Tuesday mornings at the library. All story times have an emphasis on early literacy that will include an art activity to be completed at the library or at home.
Some of the themes for February are Happy Hats, Polar Bears and Penguins, and Friendship Fun. Registration is limited. Check our online calendar for specific dates, or call the library for more information.
If the Voorheesville school district delays school by two hours, or closes for the day due to inclement weather, morning programs will be canceled. For all other programming, please call ahead to confirm the library will be open.
