Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, May 29, 2014
The Voorheesville Public Library will once again host a summer reading program. Beginning June 2 you can register online at voorheesvillelibrary.org for our Fizz, Boom, Read program. We will explore, observe, measure, compare, and predict through exciting, engaging, and educational programs that complement the STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Explore topics ranging from chicken farming to dinosaur digs and LEGO building to owl ecology and so much more. Reading will still be a big part of SRP and prizes will be awarded for top readers. The library will be the place to be this summer.
Computer care for teens
Learn how to keep your laptop or desktop computer running smoothly. On June 9, at 7 p.m., join IT professional John Love as he walks you through installing updates, scanning for viruses, and keeping your data secure.
For children, teens and families
Join us for our annual ice cream social on Thursday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m. We will say good-bye to the school year and say hello to summer with make your own sundaes, generously donated by Stewarts. We will have book lists for summer reading suggestions, and you can sign up for the summer reading program. Bring the whole family.
Community service credit
Students entering grade seven and up can earn community service credit for assisting with summer programs at the library. Jobs include helping prepare crafts, working with younger kids during programs, and some computer tasks. Fill out a volunteer form (available on the teen page of our website) prior to a mandatory orientation at the library at 4 p.m., on Friday, June 13. Teens should also bring their summer calendars so they know which dates they are available to volunteer. For more information, please contact Debbie Sternklar at the library, or e-mail .
Movie screening
Please join us at 6:30 p.m., on June 11, for a screening of a 2014 Catskill Mountains Film Festival finalist Art of the Bag: A Speed Bag Story. This feature-length independent documentary follows the history of the speed bag and its ties to the Capital District area. Writer/director Joe Saba is a local filmmaker/photographer/musician and founder of ZazaCast Films. He will be attending the screening and available for questions after the show. Light refreshments will be served.

The library is proud to welcome artist Rose Lawson, displaying her paint/pen and ink drawings in our hall gallery. Our display case will feature a Hess Truck collection, owned and shared by Joe McDonnell. Please be sure to stop by the library and enjoy these two exhibits.
