Join magician and juggler Scott Jameson, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., on Tuesday, Aug. 20, at the Voorheesville Public Library for an extraordinary performance.

People of all ages are welcome. No registration is required.

Kindergarten readiness

Children entering kindergarten, and their parents, are invited to join us on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 6:30 p.m., for a fun-filled and educational evening where the soon-to-be-kindergarteners can hone their kindergarten-readiness skills at activity/learning centers.

Oreo Challenge

Do you have what it — tastes? Join us on Thursday, Aug. 22, at 6:30 p.m. for an hour-long taste test.

For a proper “cleansing of the palette” between tastes, milk and water will be supplied. Please register.
