Voorheesville Library Notes for Friday, September 1, 2017

You are invited to join the nonfiction book discussion group at the Voorheesville Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 5, from 7 to 9 p.m. to discuss “The Wright Brothers’ by David McCullough.

He draws on the extensive Wright family papers to profile not only the brothers but their sister, Katharine, without whom things might well have gone differently for them.

Please register at the information desk and pick up a copy of the book ($5). If you can’t make it this month, the nonfiction book discussion meets on the second Tuesday, every other month. Check the library calendar for future book titles.

Holiday hours

In observance of the Labor Day holiday, the Voorheesville library will be closed on Saturday, Sept. 2 through Monday, Sept. 4. Regular hours will resume when the Library opens at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Regular hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Seed Library

Now that our gardening season is coming to an end, it is the perfect time to think about replenishing the Voorheesville Seed Library for next year. Bring a yummy dish to share for our Harvest Potluck at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 6 and join the talk on seed saving techniques.

The talk will be led by our Voorheesville Seed Library volunteers and a master gardener from Cooperative Extension will be on hand to answer questions. Please register.
