Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, March 22, 2018
The Westerlo Library is proud to announce a $500 grant from the Stewart’s Holiday Match Program. This grant will be used to purchase new furniture for our recently refurbished children’s play area. A new table and chairs, and a bench with storage for toys, puzzles, and board books will keep the nook organized but inviting.
It is through the support of individuals and local charitable organizations, like Stewart’s Foundation and its very generous customers, that we are able to strengthen our existing programs, and develop new and innovative library projects to serve our patrons and the community at large.
Over the past 30 years, Stewart’s Foundation and its Holiday Match customers have awarded over $26 million to thousands of community organizations that serve children’s recreation and education. Thank you, Stewart’s!
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with LEGO. 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.
