The Voorheesville Public Library is holding a coding club, after school on Mondays in November. The next class will be held on Nov. 26, from 3 to 4 p.m. Participants will learn about computational thinking and computer programming fundamentals. Class size is very limited, so please register for each class.
Beading workshop
Create some beaded holiday gifts at this month's workshop. Learn easy beading techniques for making simple bookmarks, ornaments, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. The Library provides tools and offers a variety of beads to choose from, or you are welcome to bring your own supplies and projects along. You may arrive at any time between 6 and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 28, and there will be a small materials fee, depending on which project(s) you choose. Adults and teens ages 14 and up, please register.

Second Sunday Film
Join us on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. for my favorite holiday action adventure film.
You know I can’t tell you the title here, but, if I say barefoot New York Police Officer John McClane spends the night trying to rescue his wife, Holly Gennaro, from bad guy Hans Gruber at a Christmas party at Nakatomi Plaza, I’m sure you will know what film I speak of.
The film is rated R, and runs for two hours and 12 minutes. Light refreshments will be served. No registration is needed.
