Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, October 23, 2013
On Friday, Oct. 25, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Healthy Capital District Initiative will be holding private meetings with patrons to discuss health care options. This will include the Healthcare Marketplace, as well as other options that may be available. The representatives from HCDI are trained navigators for the Affordable Healthcare Act and will be able to help you fill out whatever paperwork or online forms are needed to register for this new state-based health insurance exchange.

This is a theme-based, multi-age level story time with an emphasis on early literacy. Please register for this special program by calling the library.
