Altamont Library Notes for Thursday, February 22, 2018
Here’s a great way to support your library, while at the same time doing a good turn for the environment: Throughout the month of February, for every “Bags 4 My Cause” reusable shopping bag sold at Guilderland Hannaford at 5239 Western Turnpike, the Altamont Free Library will receive a portion of the proceeds. Thanks, Hannaford!
Trivia Night
On Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m., 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.
Like Juice & Jammies, we’ll be trying this on a different day, so please make note that we’ll be doing this on a Wednesday, not a Thursday, night.
Afghanistan Potluck
It’s almost time again for another of our ever-popular Eat Around the World Potluck dinners! Come broaden your culinary horizons and share a meal with a bunch of friendly people.
This month we’re taking a trip to Afghanistan! Please join us at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 26, to join in the festivities and bring a dish to share. If you don’t already have a favorite Afghan recipe, come on in and grab a cookbook!
“The Power of Habit”
On Monday, March 5, the First Monday Book Club will meet at noon to discuss “The Power of Habit” by New York Times journalist Charles Duhig. This best seller is a fascinating study of why people do what we do and what modern science tells us about how we can change our habits, and cultivate new, healthier ones.
This is sure to be a fascinating discussion, so please join us.
Deb Cavanaugh concert
Please join us on Friday, March 9, at 7 p.m. for the next installment of the SongTeller Sessions concert series. Our performer this month will be Deb Cavanaugh.
Artist/educator, singer/songwriter Deb Cavanaugh has been performing in the Capital District of New York State since 1982. Nowadays, playing a variety of acoustic instruments (guitar, mandolin, mountain dulcimer and banjo), her show includes elements of pop, folk, jazz, and blues.
Deb is perhaps best known for teaching Music Together, an early-education research-based program for families with young children.
These concerts are free and all-ages appropriate, so bring your whole crew.
