Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, January 24, 2019
Lefty will be back at the Westerlo Library this Friday, Jan. 25, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Drop in to “Check it out!” and read with Lefty. (Librarians love saying, “Check it out.”)
Lefty is a registered therapy dog. Our thanks to Eric Markson for volunteering his time and sharing Lefty with us.
BookPage
The February edition of BookPage is here! Discover your next great book with a free copy. BookPage is a monthly book review and selection guide to the best new books published every month.
The tone is upbeat and literate, focusing on bestsellers as well as new discoveries. All of the content from the print edition is also posted on BookPage.com each month.

Homebound Delivery Service
Can’t make it to the library? Maybe you’ve had surgery or just don’t drive anymore.
If you — or a friend or family member — would like to take advantage of borrowing books, movies and audiobooks, your public library is standing by to help!
Our Homebound Delivery Service is a free library delivery service provided to the residents of the town of Westerlo who are unable to visit the library. If you think this service might be right for you — or a friend or family member — call (or visit) the library during regular business hours at 518-797-3415.
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with LEego. We supply the blocks; you bring the imagination. Miss Lee is also available for homework help.
Story time
Join Miss Lee Wednesday mornings from 11 a.m. to noon for stories, songs, and movement activities designed for infants to children up to five years old.
In addition to developing pre-reading skills, singing, moving to music, and playing instruments all help foster a sense of rhythm and timing that are essential elements in developing the part of a child’s brain that shapes math skills.
Story times are also a great opportunity to meet other parents of small children in Westerlo.
Technology Walk-In Wednesdays
Do you have a new smartphone or tablet, but don’t know how to download digital materials? Need to brush up on your computer skills — or obtain basic skills?
See Amy on Wednesdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for free, personalized, one-on-one instruction.
