Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, November 18, 2020
This week, the story time theme at the Voorheesville Public Library is Backyard Birds. Let’s learn more about them, and make a special treat for them.
Families of preschool-aged children are invited to 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-Saturday of that week. No registration required.
