Voorheesville Library Notes for Monday, August 26, 2013

On Monday, Aug. 26, at 6:30 p.m., join in for an evening of educational fun as Jeff Boyer explains “green” energy sources of the future.

The 2013 Summer Reading Program ends with the announcement of grand-prize winners and distribution of prizes to top readers in each age category.

Starlab

On Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 11:00 a.m., Starlab brings astronomy alive!

The Dudley Observatory Starlab is a portable planetarium. All it needs is enthusiastic sky-gazers to enjoy the 3-D experience of this interactive planetarium program. Space inside the Starlab is limited, so please register early.

The program is for children in kindergarten through fourth grades.

Museum passes

Are your kids bored yet? Borrow one of our museum passes and take them on a road trip.

Drive over to Hancock Shaker Village or check out the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. The Berkshire Botannical Gardens are always lovely and the Bennington Museum is a fun day trip.

Check out our website for a complete list of passes.

August Artist of the Month

This is the last week to enjoy works by our August Artist of the Month, Diane Wozniak.

The library is pleased to display some of this well-known and much-loved area artist’s outstanding artwork. She enjoys painting watercolor scenes of Voorheesville and often has them made into note cards and matted prints to sell.

Since she grew up in Voorheesville, many of the scenes are near and dear to her heart.

Book sale

It is that time of the year again. The Friends of the Library Annual Fall Book Sale is right around the corner.

Save the dates — Friday, Sept. 20, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. is the members-only preview sale. (A one-year individual FOL membership can be purchased at the door for the low cost of $10.) Saturday, Sept. 21, is the Book Sale, and Sunday, Sept. 22, is the Buck-A-Bag Sale (bring your own bags).

We are still accepting book and DVD donations for the sale. They can be dropped off at the library during regular summer hours.
