Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, April 26, 2018

There’s an app for that! UHLS Mobile, offered through the Upper Hudson Library System, is the way to access library resources on the go.

The app’s features include the ability to search the catalog; check the status of a library card account; place physical items (such as books, CDs and DVDs) on hold so they can be picked up at the library; discover and access digitally distributed items like ebooks, audiobooks, and digital magazines; and connect to other information such as library hours and program calendars.

UHLS Mobile is available free in both Android (Google Play) and Apple (iTunes) app stores.  For more information or to try the app out, visit uhls.boopsie.com.

Read to Lefty

Lefty will be back this Friday, April 27, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Contact the library to register your child for a 15-minute reading session, or just drop in to “check it out!”  (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.

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 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.
