Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, February 17, 2017
The library will be closed on Monday, Feb. 20 in observance of Presidents Day.
Quilting and fiber arts group
Our next meeting is Saturday, Feb. 25, at 11 a.m. at the library.
We are expanding to include anyone who likes to work with fabric, threads or yarns. Please join us and get acquainted with others who share your passion. We will trade tips and techniques as well as show off our projects to each other. There will be monthly themes, lessons, demonstrations and challenges.
The theme for February is wool with a demo of felting wool and silk together. For “show and share,” bring something made from wool and any questions you have.
Led by Lila Hollister Smith, this group is open to all crafters who use fibers and textiles at all skill levels. The group meets once a month on the fourth Saturday of each month and new members and casual visitors are always welcomed.
After school
Join Miss Lee on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. for homework help, games, crafts, puzzles, music, and a lot more. Programs will also include storytelling, hands-on demonstrations, and visits from special guests. Lee is also available on Thursdays from 3 to 8 p.m. for homework help.
Story time
From 11 a.m. to noon on Wednesday mornings Miss Lee presents stories, songs, and movement activities designed for infants to children up to 5 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.
Storytimes are also a great opportunity to meet other parents of small children in Westerlo.
Technology Walk-In Wednesdays
Do you have a new Kindle or Nook, but don’t know how to download books? 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.
