Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, June 16, 2017
This weekend is New York State Path Through History weekend. Come and explore:

— the Westerlo Heritage Museum will be open on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. with a special exhibit, “Popping the Cork on Prohibition.”
The museum is located at 978 County Route 401. Parking is available behind Woodman’s Hall. Food will also be available for sale.

After school
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.
STEAM
New! Wednesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m. Miss Lee will present a Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math program aimed at a variety of age groups. Each week will feature a different STEAM-based activity with hands-on crafts and demonstrations.
Story time
New! Due to popular demand, storytime is moving to Fridays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. One Friday per month, Miss Lee will present 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 Kindle or Nook, but don’t know how to download books? 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.
