Rescue Pet Contest
Megan Viscio, local artist and teacher, will be selecting winners whose pets will be made into mini-sculptures and featured in her art show. To enter the contest, provide a short write-up about your rescue pet or rescue experience along with several photographs from which Megan will work.
The winners will get to keep the mini-sculptures after the show. If interested or if you need more information, contact Megan at or Gail Brown at . Because the library is presently closed, the art show may become virtual or it will wait until the library can safely open. Visit Megan’s artwork at thestudiohouse.blog.
Reusable bags
The Friends of the Voorheesville Library have been selected to receive funds in May from reusable bag purchases at the Voorheesville Hannaford. Please consider purchasing a reusable bag to help support the Friends of the Voorheesville Library.
