Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, August 29, 2013

The Westerlo Public Library will be closed on Monday, Sept. 2, in observation of Labor Day. 

School supply drive

Hilltowns Community Resource Center Back-to-School Supply Drive would appreciate your donations of school supplies. They will help kids start the new school year ready to learn.  Donations will be accepted at the library during regular business hours. 

 Children’s programs

Our 2013 summer reading program Dig Into Reading will draw to a close today, at 6:30 p.m., with a treasure hunt and party.  In addition to free books for meeting milestones of minutes read, we once again have gift certificates from Stewart’s Shops for free milkshakes and sundaes.  Our thanks to Stewart’s Shops for their continuing generosity and support of our community.

 Toddler and preschool story time meets on Wednesday at 10 a.m.  Join Miss Lee for stories, songs, games and movement activities designed for children ages two 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.

Technology walk-in Wednesday

 Do you 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, hands-on instruction on how to work the mouse, navigate the Internet, set up an e-mail account, use office automation programs, and more.  If Wednesday mornings are not convenient, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
