Westerlo Library Notes for Wednesday, September 25, 2013

The Westerlo Public Library’s new quilting group will hold an organizational meeting on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m.  Led by Lila Hollister Smith, the group is open to all skill levels. Smith is a founding member of the Capital District Textile Artists group and a long-time member of Quilters United in Learning Together (QUILT, Inc.).  She also teaches, gives trunk show talks and exhibits in art galleries. 

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the library, or attend the meeting on Sept. 28.

Children’s Programs

Thank you to all who joined our Summer Reading Program, Dig Into Reading this year. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Toddler and preschool story time meets on Wednesday at 10 a.m.  Join Miss Lee for stories, songs, games and movement activities designed for children ages two 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.

Technology Walk-In Wednesday

Do you 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, hands-on instruction on how to work the mouse, navigate the Internet, set up an email account, use office automation programs, and more.  If Wednesday mornings are not convenient, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
