Voorheesville Library Notes for Tuesday, December 1, 2020
“7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga” by David Robertson is being read by the Graphic Novel Book Discussion group at the Voorheesville Public Library, which will talk about the book on Dec. 16.
This week, the story time theme is holiday celebrations. The holiday season is here, so let’s celebrate!
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 storytime 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 required.
