Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, January 11, 2018
Altamont Girl Scout Troop 1306 is working on an awesome project called “Girls Can Do,” in which they’ll be building a sculpture out of cans, and they need our help. Any donations that you can make of canned food would be welcome (red and green labels especially).
After their display is finished, all food donations will be passed on to local food pantries. We’ll be collecting donations until Friday, Jan. 12.
Peace Flag Craft Morning
On Monday, Jan. 15, from 10 a.m. to noon, we’ll be honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by making peace flags. Please call ahead to register your young folks in advance, so that we can be sure we have enough materials.
Annual meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Altamont Free Library Board of Trustees will be held on Tuesday, January 16 at 6:30 pm, to be immediately followed by our regular monthly meeting at 7 pm. As with all of our board meetings, the public is welcome to attend.
Trivia Night!
On Thursday, January 18th at 7 PM, make a team, study up, and BYOB to our monthly mind-twisting trivia contest! Entrance is $5 and the winners take half the door. Contestants must be 21 and up, please.
I Love My Library Gala
Save the date! The always anticipated annual I Love My Library! Gala is coming up on Saturday, February 10th at the Community Room at Altamont Village Hall. This year, tickets are very likely to go even faster than usual, so please rsvp immediately when you receive your invitations.
If you haven’t attended in the past and would like to get on the mailing list for invitations, please contact us here at the library at (518) 861-7239 or by email at .
New-gadget assistance
Now that the holidays are behind us, many of us are left trying to figure out how the heck to use the new techno-goodies we’ve received. Whether it’s a new phone, laptop, tablet or eReader that won’t do what it’s supposed to do, we can (probably) help!
Call the library at (518) 861-7239 to book an appointment to sit down with a librarian for up to a half-hour and sort out your gizmo issues.
