Westerlo Library Notes for Wednesday, May 22, 2019
Spring Flowers: Fourteen of South Westerlo artist Virginia Cantarella’s vibrant floral still-life paintings are currently on display in the Westerlo Library’s Hannay Room. The show will be at the library through the end of June, and can be seen during regular library hours.
The Westerlo Library will be closed on Monday, May 27, in observance of Memorial Day.
Read It Forward Teen Reading Program
Free copies of the 2019 Read It Forward selection, “Miles Morales: Spider-Man,” by Jason Reynolds, are now available at the library on the Young Adult shelf.
No due dates, no late fees, just Read It Forward! It’s easy. Read the book, write your comments in the back, and pass it on to someone else. If you need help passing a copy forward, drop it off at the library.
Read It Forward is a collaborative project of the Upper Hudson and Mohawk Valley Library Systems to foster teen reading, call attention to quality teen literature, and encourage parents to read and discuss books with teens.
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.
