Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, December 20, 2018

The Westerlo Library will be closed on Monday, Dec. 24, and Tuesday, Dec. 25, for the Christmas holiday. We will also be closed on Monday, Dec. 31, and Tuesday, Jan. 1, in celebration of the New Year!

Check out our new hours!

Effective Jan. 1, 2019, we will add one hour to our public schedule (for a total of 30 hours per week) in an easy-to-remember plan.

You will only have to remember two time periods: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday (no change) and 2 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

BookPage

Discover your next great book with a free copy of BookPage. BookPage is a monthly book review and selection guide to the best new books published every month.

The tone is upbeat and literate, focusing on bestsellers as well as new discoveries. All of the content from the print edition is posted on BookPage.com each month.  Did you miss last month’s issue? Check our “free shelf” for back issues.

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 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 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.
