Westerlo Library Notes for Wednesday, February 3, 2021

The Westerlo Library is currently doing porch pick-up service only. Call us during regular library hours to schedule a porch pick-up of your reserved and requested items.

We have current issues of magazines. Call 518-797-3415 and ask for what you need. Library hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2 to 7 p.m., and Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

STEAM kits

We have free STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) take-and-make kits available at our library. February’s theme is “Forces of Nature: Water.” New kits are available weekly.  

4-H series

In February the Hilltown libraries, in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County, will present a 4-H Virtual Exploratory Series. A weekly Zoom session will be available (but not necessary for participation) and project kits will be available for pickup at the libraries. Please see our Facebook page for additional information.

All programs and kits are free unless otherwise noted.

Spice Club

The spice for February is coriander. Pick up a sample of coriander and three suggested recipes in the library vestibule during regular library hours.

Share your opinion on the recipes by dropping a note in the book-drop, emailing , commenting on the Westerlo Library Facebook page, or joining our GoToMeeting on Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. using the link on the library website (click on Adult Programs).

Special collections

We have recently added new material to our collections. We’ll share information on our new material here as well as through our website and Facebook. In the meantime, since we are currently providing curbside service only, if you are looking for a particular book or DVD, call the library at 518-797-3415 to see if we have it available.
