Westerlo Library Notes for Tuesday, December 23, 2014
The Westerlo Public Library was closed today, Dec. 25 but will be open our regular hours on Friday and Saturday. The library will again be closed on Wednesday, Dec. 31 and Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015, and will again be open our regular hours on Friday and Saturday. Happy New Year!
Quilting group
The library’s quilting group will meet on Saturday, Dec. 27, at 11 a.m. Members show and share techniques, gadgets, projects and ideas — you may get help with problems or inspiration.
This week’s discussion topics will include New Year’s subjects and quilt-making goals for the New Year.
Lead by Lila Hollister Smith, the group is open to all crafters who use fibers and textiles at all skill levels. The group meets the second and fourth Saturday of each month and new members are welcomed.
In the display case
A special thank you to Lila Smith for sharing the making of The Christmas Castle Storybook. The story was written by the Smith family about an eclectic assortment of children’s toys and crafts that were a part of the family’s Christmas celebration for many years. Lila hand-lettered and illustrated the story, then hand-bound them into gift books to share with family and friends. The library also received two copies. They are in our Holiday Collection so you can share the story with your family.
After school
at the library
Join Miss Lee on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. for homework help, games, crafts, puzzles, magic, music, and a lot more. Programs will also include storytelling, hands-on demonstrations, and visits from special guests.
