Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, July 25, 2013

Compete in a Caldecott trivia contest and win prizes. Bring a picnic dinner and see how well you know your Caldecott books at the Voorheesville Public Library’s family trivia night picnic on Friday July 26, at 5 p.m. What book features a police dog that helps with safety tips? What city does a group of baby ducks walk through? Everyone in the family can join in to answer questions about old and new books. The library will supply lemonade and dessert. Registration is requested, but space will be made for everyone.

Pig out on reading

Go hog wild on Monday, July 29, at 11 a.m., as Farmer Minor and his pot-bellied pig Daisy pay a special visit to the library.  Farmer Minor and Daisy love reading and sharing their enthusiasm through books and storytelling.  Daisy loves children and would be delighted if you would give her a smooch. Are you ready to kiss a pig? If not, a nice little pat would be perfect! For kids in kindergarten through grade 3.

A visit from a veterinarian

On Tuesday, July 30, from 1 to 2 p.m., our neighbor and friend, Dr. Holly Cheever from The Village Animal Clinic will speak to us about pets and pet care. Are you interested in caring for a pet? Do you have questions about your pets? If circumstances permit, Dr. Cheever will provide a guided tour of the clinic. Children will meet in the library community room and will be escorted across the street to the clinic. Registration is required for the tour and space is limited.

Together at Twilight

Come enjoy the atmosphere at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 14, when Captain Squeeze and the Zydeco Moshers takes the stage at the library for the third concert in our Together at Twilight series. CSZM is one of the most versatile zydeco bands in the country. Join us rain or shine.

Book sale donations

In anticipation of our annual fall book sale, scheduled for Sept. 20 to 22, the library is now accepting book and DVD donations.
