Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, September 30, 2020

Preschoolers can enjoy a theme-based, multi-age virtual story time with an emphasis on early literacy. Mrs. Brown and Miss Lisa will video record a short story time with an accompanying art activity. The video link will be posted on the library's website, all of the library’s social media platforms, and on the library’s YouTube channel.

Families of preschoolers can pick up a take-and-make bag at the library each week. The bag will include the story-time thematic art activity of the week. Each week’s bags will be at the library from Tuesday through Saturday of that week. No registration is needed.
