Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, May 18, 2018

Please join us this Friday, May 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. as we celebrate the dedication of The Hannay Community Room, our new Westerlo Library program and community meeting room.

Light refreshments will be served. Additional parking will be available at First Baptist Church.  

Hilltown Artists Exhibition

In conjunction with the opening of the Hannay Community Room, the Library is hosting an exhibition of 17 artists from Westerlo and neighboring towns. Their works range from drawing to watercolor to sculpture, and highlight the creative talent that exists in our own backyard. Many of the works on display illustrate local scenes that will be familiar to visitors of the exhibit.  

The show will be at the library through the end of June and can be seen during regular library hours.   Most works are available for purchase. Our thanks to Peter Keitel, president of the Bethlehem Art Association, for curating the exhibit.

Thanks!

Thank you for supporting this year’s Book & Bake Sale. We couldn’t do it without the support of our community.

When you support this sale or allow us to “keep the change” when paying for copies, it makes a real difference. But there would be no bake sale without our friends (including staff and trustees!) baking and manning the tables all day Saturday. Thank you!

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 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.
