Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, September 27, 2018
The Westerlo Historical Society is hosting author Gerard A. Finin at a “meet and greet” on Sunday, Sept. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Westerlo Town Hall, in honor of the publication of his newly released biography of Dr. Anna Ward Perkins, “A Good and Noble Thing.”
Special guest speakers will also share their reminiscences of Dr. Perkins.
McGeachen watercolors
Twelve of Rensselaerville artist Barbara McGeachen’s watercolor paintings are currently on display in the Hannay Room at the Library. Her landscapes feature local sites rendered in the rich colors of autumn.
Barbara’s work has been exhibited at the Community College in Hudson, NY, the Greene County Council of the Arts in Catskill, NY, the Athens Cultural Center, Athens, NY, and the Bethlehem Art Association, Delmar, NY. She has also exhibited at local businesses and banks.
The show will be at the Library during the months of September and October and can be seen during regular library hours. Our thanks to Peter Keitel, former President of the Bethlehem Art Association, for curating the exhibit.
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with LEGO. We supply the blocks; you bring the imagination. Miss Lee is also available for homework help.
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.
Storytimes are also a great opportunity to meet other parents of small children in Westerlo.
