Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, May 6, 2016
Treat Mom to something sweet on her special day. The Westerlo Public Library’s annual book and bake sale will be held this Saturday, May 7 — the day before Mother’s Day — from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the library. Bakers, donations of baked goods will be at the library accepted through Friday.
In addition to desserts and pastries of all kinds, there will be books, music, and videos for sale. If those don’t strike your fancy, we will have a special selection of handmade beeswax candles crafted exclusively for the library. Saving the best for last, our new book bags, celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, will be available for the first time.
Watch for our beautiful big blue banner announcing the sale, stop by, and check it out.
Library trustees meet
The board of library trustees will meet on Monday, May 9, at 7 p.m. at the library. This is an open public meeting.
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 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.
After school at the library
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.
