Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, October 18, 2018
Once again, the Westerlo Library is a collection site for the Helderberg Kiwanis Club and Berne-Knox-Westerlo Key Club’s 2018 “Coats for Kids” Drive. Donate gently-used coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and other cold-weather gear.
Everything collected will be donated to the Hilltown Resource Center for distribution to children in the Hilltowns.
Other collection sites are: the Berne Public Library, the East Berne Post Office, and the Berne-Knox-Westerlo School.
Read to Lefty
Lefty will be back this Friday, Oct. 19, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Drop in to “Check it out!” and read with Lefty. (Librarians love saying, “Check it out.”)
Lefty is a registered therapy dog. Our thanks to Eric Markson for volunteering his time and sharing Lefty with us.
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with Lego. We supply the blocks; you bring the imagination. Miss Lee is also available for homework help.
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 5 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.
