Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, April 18, 2019
Teen Hang-Out: Kids, grades seven through 12, come to the Westerlo Library on Saturday, April 20, from noon till 2 p.m. Play games, make crafts, hang out with your friends and make new ones! The introductory event will be a Mario Kart Championship with prizes and refreshments.
“Let’s Face It”
Seventeen of Rensselaerville artist Bruce Robert Barker’s charcoal and pastel portraits are on display in the Hannay Room at the library.
These finely rendered portraits hint at veiled secrets and emotions in their subjects. What stories lie behind the features captured in historical figures, a veritable rogue’s gallery of instantly recognizable politicians, and seemingly ordinary folk?
The show will be at the library through the end of April, and can be seen during regular library hours.
Our thanks to Peter Keitel, former President of the Bethlehem Art Association, for curating the exhibit.
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with Lego. Lego uses play to open up the world of math, science and cooperative problem-solving to young minds.
The colorful blocks ignite natural curiosity and build confidence as children bring their ideas to life. 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 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.
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.
