Laura Tenney, who has served as the president of the Westerlo Library Board of Trustees for the past 10 years, donated a barn quilt to the Town of Westerlo Public Library.
“I’ve named the pattern, ‘The Tree of Knowledge’ in honor of the library,” she said. It is a stunning tree pattern of yellow, white, and greens.
The timing of the donation was made extra special because it also marked the reopening of the library.
A barn quilt is a large piece of painted wood that looks like a single quilt block and often is attached to the side of a barn. The library’s barn quilt is located along the front of the building near the patio. The library’s board of trustees gratefully accepted Laura’s gift and hopes the community enjoys it for many years to come.
Welcome back!
The library is now offering you the opportunity to make appointments to come in to browse and check out materials. We will also accept walk-in visitors but please understand that patrons with appointments will have priority as we are limiting our number of patrons to four at a time.
We are still offering pickup on the porch for our patrons who prefer that and also for those who may have a medical or personal issue with wearing a face mask. Please check our website https://www.westerlolibrary.org/ or call 518-797-3415 for an appointment or porch pick up.
