Voorheesville Library Notes for Saturday, March 4, 2017
Young children learn best through play. The Capital District Child Care Council will present a workshop at the Voorheesville Public Library on Saturday, March 4, at 10:30 a.m., to show parents how play supports all children’s developmental learning needs — social, emotional, physical and cognitive — and how parents can best support their child’s play.
Limited, on-site childcare will be available, but you must register for this free service.
Introduction to the World Wide Web
Join us on Monday, March 6, to learn the basics of connecting to and navigating the internet. We’ll talk about how the tubes work, look at different browsers, study the basic construction of a webpage, explore a handful of search engines, briefly talk security, and along the way pick up some useful search tips.
Participants can bring their own devices, or use one of the library’s laptops. The first class will start at 10 a.m. and the second class will begin at 6 p.m. Please register for one session only, as space is very limited.
Elder Law
A presentation, on Monday, March 6, will benefit senior citizens and those concerned about senior citizens. At 1:30 p.m., Mark Brody, a past Principal Attorney in the Office of the New York State Attorney General’s office, will discuss powers of attorney, trusts, living wills and health care proxies. There will be ample time for questions.
Discover tea and tea tasting
As part of our Foodie Series, please join us as we welcome tea ambassador Matthew, from Short and Stout Tea in Guilderland, on Wednesday, March 8 at 7 p.m. Matthew will lead our discussion on what tea is, tea history, and how tea is brewed. And, of course, there will be tea tasting.
Reading and Robots
Wondering what to do with your first through third grade students on their days off ?
Bring them to the library on Friday, March 10, at 1:30 p.m. to hear some robot stories and program our tiny robots. The library’s Ozobots are easy to program using just magic markers, once you know their secret code.
Movie
Lincoln Center Local partners with the library to bring exclusive free screenings of Lincoln Center’s finest performances directly to our neighborhood. At 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 12, the library will be showing “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” which was recorded at Avery Fisher Hall in 2014
Murder, mayhem, and the ultimate revenge — Stephen Sondheim’s musical masterpiece returns to life in a bold new performance by The New York Philharmonic, starring Bryn Terfel and Emma Thompson. This program contains language or scenes that some may find objectionable. Viewer discretion is advised.
