Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, June 1, 2016
Count us in! Fun with math and magnetic mystery. Explore magnets. Following a short 10:15 a.m. story time, parents, and children will explore and play at different stations. Using hands on science, technology, engineering, art and math, children will develop not only their reading skills but their STEAM skills, too.

Two-part Medicare 101
If you are enrolled in Medicare or will soon be, come to this two-part presentation to learn what Medicare is, what it pays for, and what your contribution will be. Certified Medicare counselor, Janet Kiffney, will answer common questions such as: What is Medicare Part A and Part B? What about prescription coverage? What is the doughnut hole? What is Medigap insurance, and how does it help? Should you think about joining an Advantage Plan? This is a two-part program; Part one is Wednesday, June 8, 10 to 11:30 a.m. and part two is Wednesday, June 15, 10 to 11:30 am. So much information that we couldn’t fit it into one session, so please plan to attend both. Registration is requested.
Board games at the library
Looking for an afternoon of fun and games? Find it at the Afternoon “Bored” Game Club, Monday, June 13, at 1:30 p.m. The library will provide board games and cards, or you’re welcome to bring a favorite of yours. Adults, please register online.
Healthcare system talk

Discussion of the film will be facilitated by Dr. Cliff Casey and Dr. Richard Propp.
Save the date
We have something big planned for our summer reading program kick-off this year. Join us at the Performing Arts Center on June 27, for an invigorating and exciting evening of song and dance with nationally acclaimed children’s musician of PBS fame, Steve Roslonek of Steve Songs.
Anyone who’s attended a Steve Songs concert appreciates his ability to connect with his audience from the exuberant children flocking toward the stage, to the moms bouncing babies with the beat, to the parents and grandparents singing along. You won’t want to miss this one.
This program is made possible with the generous support of the Friends of the Library and the Voorheesville PTA. The concert will be held at the Lydia C. Tobler Performing Arts Center at the Clayton A. Bouton High School/Middle School.
Book store
The next scheduled hours for Encore! the Friends of the Library used book store, are June 13, 16, 20 and 23, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.
