Westerlo Library Notes for Wednesday, October 9, 2019

We appreciate your patience as we continue the parking-lot project. The Westerlo Library looks forward to having a smooth, paved parking lot very soon.

Please check our website and Facebook page for a notice that the library will be closed for one day during the actually paving. As soon as we know that day we will publish it. 

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.

Memoir Writing Group 

The Memoir Writing Group will meet Saturday, Oct. 12 at 11 a.m. This group provides its members a safe and supportive place to learn together.

The group meets once a month on the second Saturday of each month and new members are welcome.

Artists’ Group 

The Artists Group will meet Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 2:15 to 4 p.m. This group provides its members an opportunity to make art together in a spirit of fun and support. Led by Lila Hollister Smith, the group meets the third Tuesday of the month in the library’s Hannay Community Room, which is also an art gallery.

Beginners are welcome. Bring paper and pencil. If you can sign your name, you can learn to draw!  Experienced artists bring your favorite medium.

Story time
