Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, September 9, 2016

The library book discussion group will meet next Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. at the library. We will continue to make our own selections and fall into a good book, as autumn approaches. Read for pure pleasure and share your favorites with the group. Please join us. New members are welcome.

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  

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.

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.

Family game night

Drop in on Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. for Family Game Night. Try one of our board games or bring your own. This unstructured program is open to all ages (and you need not be accompanied by a child to participate!).
