GPL is a fine resource that we’re happy to contribute to

To the Editor:

I would like to thank Cherry Neil for her letter last week regarding the services provided by the Guilderland Public Library. [“My library tax dollars are perhaps the best value around,” online at www.AltamontEnterprise.com.]

Summer in Altamont: Read, picnic, swim, see a film, go to a concert, or take a trip

by James Gaughan

There will be many activities to celebrate this summer in the village of Altamont.  I thought it would be helpful if I gave you a brief synopsis of the many scheduled events.  Enjoy the coming months.  They should present a great summer for culture, music, and entertainment!

Open your minds and hearts to accept chickens

To the Editor:

School makes great choice

To the Editor:

Help Herb June in his battle against cancer

To the Editor:

A Cancer Benefit Garage Sale will be held in Westerlo at the Westerlo Reformed Church on Route 143 in Westerlo on Saturday, June 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Being grand marshall was an honor

To the Editor:

I would like to thank all who selected me as grand marshall of the Memorial Day parade.

Again, thanks to the Helderberg American Legion Post 977 and to the Boyd Hilton Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7062.

Wood walks to celebrate forests and discuss threats

To the Editor:

Knox history is yours for a $10 donation

To the Editor:

Historical research often answers one question but poses another. The Knox Historical Society confronted just such a question this spring as it readied the 1972 sesquicentennial booklet for re-issue.

We must thank our veterans, both living and dead

To the Editor:

As we dust off the backyard grill, get ready to attend local parades, and start to plan our summer vacations, we should take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

We were one Guilderland

To the Editor:

Something uniquely Guilderland took place at the high school on May 14.

About 500 music students from grades five through high school presented a district-wide concert. It’s such a big deal it would be difficult to do on an annual basis so it is presented once every three years.

Standardized testing makes the vast majority of us feel bad about ourselves

To the Editor:

Libraries have long sought to promote the concept of information literacy

To the Editor:

Recently, a local television station published an opinion segment critical of the money that the Guilderland Public Library spends to inform the citizens we serve about the library’s programs, services, and collections.
